Ah that’s something else
Something I haven’t managed to do quite yet

Gives it a form and shape
Round. Square. Oblong.
Some definition
So rather than go to a shrink
I sit down to write
Coz it helps me think!

#Love #Life and #Indifference

Indifference is what kills life Not hate. For hate means there’s still a spark. While indifference means everything’s dead . How do you revive what’s dead inside You nurture it with love and a little care Till life starts becoming easier to bear And then it gets a little better than that And before you know it Life reveals delights...
