When a child cries inside their tears will never show
Their life is full of masking hurt so not a soul will know
The pain and anguish seeping out on every blessed dream
till all that’s left is a life of woes flowing all up stream
To every branch and every corner
all hope soon disappears
The exhausted fight to one day find that purely fallen snow
to echo humble visions of a peaceful safe abode
When a child cries inside it doesn’t come and go
It walks beside their every step a dreadful lifelong foe

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
