Stand with Courage
I know it's tough on you. It's driving you crazy. It makes you want to vanish. But dear, stand your ground. I know you deserve better. You worked so hard all along. You are the best at what you do. So dear, stand your ground. I know it'll take a while. It won't be an [...]
They Cried Together
A rumble outside, A rumble inside. One of thunder, One of a broken heart. As there were formed Clouds of vapour, Here were shaped Clouds of sadness. The sky turned dark Owing to its power.

Smile
Smile believing It will all be fine. Take a deep breath Trusting in the invisible. If the joy which was here yesterday No longer exists, Then why can't it be true Of today's sorrow? Hold on to yourself When no one's around. At times you Are all you really need. Know it's all For a [...]
