Plasma glow to glass-blind eyes, Milk not frothed, elixir to survive, Feed the baby lump with plastic...

Premium Member Wish I Could Stunt Like My Daddy
In the glow of dreams where starlight drips, I watch my daddy, with swagger and flips, A legend he walks, in a world so wide, With money in hand and a spirit of pride. I wish I could stunt like my daddy does, Dance through the chaos, the laughter, the buzz, With every bold move, he lights up the night, A beacon...
