Trust is so valuable. It's sometimes hard to gain, but so easy to lose. One must always be careful about trusting another, but there are times where people are too careful or too afraid & forget how to open up to those who won't do any harm. Choose wisely who you trust, but don't worry too much. Disappointment occurs, but life goes on ↗

I can help anyone get anything they want out of life. The only problem is that I can't find anyone who knows what they want. ↗

The language of poetry is a language of deep intimacy that is meant to touch the human spirit and awaken it to the mystery of life, all life. ↗
