In a flash...
God got your back
Just, just be
Just be encouraged
No matter how...

At least they buy cheap wine on my dime

Sleep with your heart’s shiver
You may dream a kingdom in afar

If you don’t want me here
Just tell...

What I’ve seen?”

There is a war
And I am one fighting within
A bloodshed I hadn’t known to befall
Without the cause or the means

Blindly following what others do
I fought gallantly and was commendable

Strain not your eyes in the darkness of loneliness
For the deserter has forsaken you
His face is lost in the whirlwind of time

better to listen to the voice inside one’s own heart
than to follow the lies & bullshit
better to see the wars for what they are

In the busy day lit crashing;
So sorry I am Lord God;
Vigorously relinquishing the dawn;
I am a deserter ashamed My Father;
