The wind of change...concealed it launches sudden storms

Believe in yourself and be your own best friend.

Awakening with heart and mind a-spin,
methought midst some psychotic malady.

Silence and loneliness,

Before living things existed, 
Sadness as my waters ran through the earth,
Was my voice the only thing to...
