A hidden shame for partly sensed deep lacks A drawing back when growth was better sense A fear of unknown dangers in soil black Humiliation makes a hidden fence.

Yet once it starts to grow there is no time Unless it’s quickly moved from English loam For lacking its best soil ,unrooted gifts Are not developed,and in struggle twist. Share this:
