The cost of...

EncouragementHave you ever felt
there is no hope,
like we're under a microscope,
and no matter how we adjust,

"Why bother the Father any longer?"
Open your heart to Jah in prayer

in Suicide Forest.
Since he hanged his alter ego in effigy,
Mr T. Hashimoto has canceled
all his psychiatric appointments.
He lies on his back
and mentally calculates
his cortisol level.
His...

You cannot have a meaningful life,
if days are filled with meaningless clock.

drivenLife at 21, do you remember it?
Things rush at you, hit you, from all directions.

Wrong DreamFight so hard to stay afloat
Ignore the sirens who sing
Try and stay on the boat
Don’t sink or you’ll hear heavens ring

Never to be fully restored/
Each day that goes by/
Just makes...

Feel by...
