Pattie! With every breath I am a straight line from point A to B, An unwavering flame with dreams to be free. Like the sun’s ascent, relentless and bold, Or the sunset's glow, quiet but whole. Let me be me, let me breathe, let me rise. Following my dreams beneath shifting skies. Time’s fleeting touch whispers goodbye, Yet I...

Words are meant to be spoken, Let...

Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. They engender headache and pain. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain. Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain. The sting of regret never lasts. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. ...
