That daily thrives on negativity.

with names of some I can't remember.
Those I've cheered; stood and applauded.

Laughing With Tears in Our Eyes

Like the tightrope we balance on, the maze we forage,
Poised and sharp like an edge of a knife
We scramble to keep up with life.

In the deserts of Arabia, Medina had many Hebrews
And Khaybar Oasis was full of farms run by Jews.

And it only gives rise to pain.

A toxic lover, poisoning your sight.

You found he.
He didn’t know how to find you again…
But he found why you left.

But he broke your hand,

Where warmth wanes without warning.
