I once got a tattoo of a flower on my ankle Because my ankle’s close to the ground And that's where flowers grow And in a way it reminds me of you How you stem from your roots The same way flowers do How you were just a seedling And before you knew it, you … Continue reading if you’re a flower, i’m a flower too

the shining.
In the darkness, there is always light and you may not see it at first so if it does not appear right in front of you then the light is within you.
leave me before i get too close.
