    • I can see this being read at a podium. I feel the convictions in your words.

    • I hate what is happening with the Epstein case and the lack of respect for the victims…and all the covering up and protecting of those who committed such evil deeds.
      There is no conscience, no conscience. Cold, rich people.

      • What’s happening with the Epstein case is literally showing us that we have no power to fight back…according to them. They silence or eliminate what threatens them. Which – honestly – showcases their fragility perfectly. I’m over here screaming my head off about my truth & healing despite them. They can’t stop me. Cowardly monsters. Thank you

    • Powerful and poignant. Fantastic.

    • The world is strange these days. I don’t understand some of these people, but honestly it’s a good thing. It means I haven’t sold my values.

      I trust one day we will have our strength shown again.

      Great ink friend.

      • I agree. Not understanding them comforts me. I’ll keep my vulnerability & integrity intact & I’m just fine not understanding how their twisted minds work.

        I read something the other day that gave me a moment of peace & hope. Loosely translated it said…light has the power to illuminate in darkness, but dark cannot look into light, it cannot bear it’s glow. I find that very calming. I’ll just keep my little fire burning & let them cower in their dark minds. Thank you, my friend

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent work my friend, you always bring it. Appreciate you.

      • I have so much going on in my mind on any given day, I have to clear headspace. They don’t always go where I expect them to land. This one started in a dark moment. But I found myself rebelling internally as I wrote & the tone changed. Together is always stronger. Thank you, my friend

    • Sometimes the question we ask ourself is are we damaged or is the world damage. We love the piece Lady, tight

      • I don’t think any single person who encounters another human being isn’t walking wounded. We all walk around bleeding and causing each other further damage. I believe you might be on to something there. Maybe the world is damage. Disheartening that the biggest common denominator amongst us is pain…
