I was there, but you didn't see me. You chose not to because it was convenient, but not so much anymore. Now I'm here, and you don't know what to do. Apologize? Not likely. Pretend you're like me? Fine, but even now when I'm right next to you, you still can't see the real me.

Over it All

Over It All

We swam beneath it all, for a time. It weighed us down and filled our minds. With doubt and fear, and perhaps the thought that we would lose all that we hold dear. But through it all, shining through that oppressive morass, we found something else. Something to help us remember our true selves.

Beneath it All
