Late Bloomer
And what they did not know is that you are a late bloomer. You take your time to form. After all have shown what they’ve got When they have been harvested and there is nothing left to offer. Is when you spring up, Out of time and season. You are the reason You bloom and…… Continue reading Late Bloomer

Break Me
You can’t break my soul.You won’t break my bones.A different breed with a special kind of gene.A cat with nine lives.Try again next time, but this time intensify the heat.
