Sometimes I don’t…
Rest.
Or eat like I should.
Because I stay up all night writing.
Sometimes I don’t…

Has been scrutinized under microscope.When I used the bathroom…There were those who gave up hope,I could do that on my own.Every step I made has been followed.And attempts to overcome my weaknesses…Were spent in public view.I did not hide behind a desk.Nor group with a clique…To mask my defects.I know I am more than qualified.Every…
Had nothing to do to upset the balance…Of something your jealousy could have avoided.But you chose to prove the outrage of the selected ‘victim’Had begun as you stood by and did absolutely nothing!Having the ‘appearance’ of innocence…Is all that is needed to begin the intended fall of someone!However…Such misdeeds eventually exposes a demented mind!And the…
