Where does my heart go…
when I, want to abscond?

How do I accomplish to make it stay?

Emotional and physical distress are the indications to take a rest.

If I had the strength that I need,

I'd Leave behind,

What is not for me…

Confiscate my dignity

and Flee…

My heart sits on the trust of my body,

To support and be carried.

I strive to take the deed,

I need to be free…

Release me from the thick chains ⛓️

Of poverty Living!

Empty souls

Don't feed

Empty spirits…

They grab

For what's left 👈…

Attempt to get more of what was already given…

Pay attention and know

The difference between real love❤️✌️and friends/foes

I guess the heart sits still…

I tried to bury my feelings, and enjoy the thrills,

But what good is love if you can't feel it?

-

(Sometimes my heart tells me)

“It is better to be alone even if with a heart full of gold, one day will be your time to regain consciousness -”
