both pitched against one dynamic, lifelong achievement"

I would deny its existence and favor the second place
prediction of Tuesday;

Such a consistent verse, as it never sits on time...

Who fooled the Nation even though he's...

Echoes of Redemption
The bottle is half-empty,
and my thoughts are half-crazy.
The room is dark and dingy,
the air thick with the scent
of stale smoke and regret.

My mind wanders aimlessly,
like a lost soul searching
for a way out of this purgatory.

My childhood had a severe lack of love
I had to pick myself up anytime I fell
Waking up from nightmares without a family to tell
I've never touched them, but I've felt the impact of drugs

Royce
The first time I thought of him
His name was playing shortstop;
Too few siesta’s spent, he’s found eighteen.

Our end did not come unannounced,
I had a premonition when you started to slip away
