As I stand here now, debating the path to challenge no longer is there an evening stroll, the casual nature of the human condition, now put to…

  • I Have This Friend

    Cares about people, sacrifice, will go that extra, sort of realizes the game, wants little recognition, doesn’t really need validation, just wants a good sense of healing.

  • A White Man’s Struggle
