Rise-Up

RISE-UP

Why are we dumb as woman and man?
The world is [really] not like that to live in.
          We don't let stressors break us down when we should address them right now.
          We are what feels the grit and grime that disengages a stable mind.
Never does this not aspect, but when it is addressed, we have found the ultimate     
           perspective.
“If” is a very big word in which the only thing tried is a failure.
           Put forth effort.
           Rise above your obstacles!
Let the world know that you are not that damn man or that damn woman, do for self first.
Yet, either this concepts or aspects... Of course, this conceives.
           So please get with it!
           Rise-up and show others what life has to give.

Verlena, I am "Sinclair", Robert", or "Hammond" (altho' many call me "Assho*e"), you may call me any thin that you wish, but as a friend, I'd prefer "Sinclair", ""Robert", or "Hammond", but as I said, "You may call me anything you want, just, "PLEASE"..."Don't Call Me Late for DINNER"!-Hahahahahahahaha-xoxoxo//Sinclair
