Show and Tell
“Cleopatra’s Crown,” she told them, her find from a nearby ditch, where when it rains, the Nile comes through, and washes up trinkets from the past, part of her story today. “Hold it gently, “she said, “It’s a priceless gem.

Born Broken
These games I'm playin are weighin on my mind, don't know if I'll ever find enough time to reconcile my crimes.

Who would I be if I had the courage to be me?
I’d speak my thoughts as they came give no mind to those who’d place blame, probably chuckle at their blushing but never question my mind’s rushing. I’d walk with head held high, confident I’m worthy of other people’s time, even when they cast me aside, defame my character, judge my climb. I’d smile... Sign in to see full entry.
