I was in a dark place when I originally wrote this, as a poem, on October 30, 2020. I apologize for any differences between what I wrote and what I sang. What I wrote is the original, while what I sang was my "final" copy. I'm sure I will edit it in the future though. I hope you like the poetry aspect of it.
Though tips aren't required, they are highly appreciated. Thank you for your time as well.
