Reckless Energy
There’s a reckless energy in my chest, somewhere in the fog there’s something trying to tell me not to listen to it but I can feel it’s frustration, it needs an outlet. You close your eyes and hope it doesn’t cause harm…..it might. The guilt though, somehow just makes it a one a way trip,Continue reading “Reckless Energy”
