THE PIGMENTS OF A LIE
Black whispers Settle like dust A mystery Ebony noir Born upon Needy tongues The truth Concealed Hidden within Painted shadows Deception Carefully applied To a canvas Using only The pigments Of a lie ~Hastywords 01/14/14

If we are lucky we find someone who can not only weather our storm but helps us survive them There is an impending storm Bitten lips bleed from refrain Sighs escape building a form Rigid hips can barely maintain Please don’t let me blow away Inside old historical nonsense Anchor me inside your sway Be…
IGNORED
When you are depressed you are afraid to speak. Fear of being ignored, rejected, and/or ridiculed. Fear you will be a burden or judged.
