You lied.
You cheated.
You stabbed us in the back.

You sold... [read more] |

They said... [read more] |

With the weight of this world
Coming down on my spine
I'm clawing through the darkness
Just to prove I'm alive
LET ME BREATHE!

I'll crawl through the fire

Savvart posted a new Poem titled There Are Chapters Yet To Come 3 weeks ago
There were days
I carried more than I thought
a heart could hold.
Nights when courage
was nothing more
than making it to morning.

and kept believing
when belief was barely
