Empathize
You are him
Down to size
Sink or swim

See their guns?
Just pretend
You’re having fun
Just pretend
Naught to mend

Wasting away
They’ll give you
Another day
They’ll give you
A chance to pray

Weighted life
Mouth quiet
Hide the strife
A new diet
A dripping knife

It’s ok if
You’re not him
‘Cause you know
He’ll sink not swim

changei do not know?

There is this unique insurance your works always give my expectations And that satisfaction only builds more castles for my curiosity to thrive, waiting for subsequent results of your talent and thinking.
