A pair of deadly spurs Made him majestic, fierce,and tough. A regal disposition, Amiable for the most. (Though my mom and younger siblings Would not usually go to close) Several years he ruled sovereign, Though...

All the broken people I look around and see so many Then I realize I am one Of the broken people All the broken people Looking and waiting For answers that don’t seem to appear Waiting to be heard Waiting to be seen Waiting for an answer All the broken people Needing to be put together One more time Or Maybe Some of us broken people Don’t...
