EnoughThey’re never happy,
The world’s selfish hands always expect more,
I’m never enough,

Just at home is broken to know what love takes,
Late nights wandering in the hell I came cross a pic,

Where the Collection EndsThe thing was breathtaking!
Such an elegant, mechanical pencil,
it was Black lacquered,
with fourteen carat gold accents
and the most elaborate,
