Divine-Clemency:
When I speak, I’m so weak… …I cry & tears reach the Sky. My spirits get so low… …My blood flows slow. My self-esteem ain’t always what it seems… …My lack of productivity taints my dreams.

You’ve even caused those who believed you to scorn you… …Who would’ve thought that this would be your colors true.… Continue reading
