Favorite Quote:
"Where words fail, music speaks." -Hans Christian Andersen


Welcomed back with lukewarm arms,
you are back to the basics.
Like an old pair of jeans that worn the day before,
it fits you perfectly.
An itchy sweater,
an ugly jacket two sizes too big,
you look ridiculous, but you are safe from the turbulent jungle.
Out on a limb, you came from.
The bruise on your shoulder,
compares nothing to the shame that debilitates you
from standing tall like you once had.
It was Chance, perfectly orchestrated
but entirely out of your power.
Like decay, deprived of flesh,
crumbling to where you
belong.
