How it hurts to love you
Multiple Rotations around the sun
And I’m still stuck
Right where you dropped me off
I launched you into outer space
Into another universe
I was so convinced
But here you are
Setting my world in retrograde
Planets were aligned
You made sure to mix and match (again)
Thought I finally saw a light
Could almost grasp my share of stardust
You stole that too
Creating a black hole
On the trail connecting me and you
How could I not see,
How could I not believe
Sucked me in
As dead stars do
Whats left of me,
I wonder too
About the Creator

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
