Are you as tired as I am?
I am so tired; I am so fatigued. At the same time, I am so intrigued by the power of lies that flow freely without shame. No one wants to call it what it is Someone please give it it’s proper name.

A Little Bird Told Me
*I often go back and read my poems and revise them to reflect my current sentiments about a topic. The little bird represents so many things.

But I like to think that there is hope for … Continue reading A Little Bird Told Me
