"What Have I Done?"
There is a but lone bright star,
Irretrievably too far,
Bound ever to earthen green,
Under skies bluest I've seen...
What have I done? Caused by the setting of the sun...
That which I want most, escapes my grasp like a ghost!
Gazing on life's endless sky, looking long stand I...
There is but a single light, unreachable height!
There is a but lone bright star,
Irretrievably too far,
Bound ever to earthen green,
Under skies bluest I've seen...
With time it grows stronger, even days are longer...
Trying to gain more, casualty without war!
Unreconciled, in a lonely wasteland exiled...
Though I have yet a heart of gold, all else is sold!
There is a but lone bright star,
Irretrievably too far,
Bound ever to earthen green,
Under skies bluest I've seen...
Standing in the cold, only that I were more bold...
Without fighting lost the battle, hear death's rattle!
Pain quite great, never early enough, far too late...
Lost in the darkness of the sun, what have I done?
There is a but lone bright star,
Irretrievably too far,
Bound ever to earthen green,
Under skies bluest I've seen...

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
