My heart is here for only when you need it
Pumping blood and collecting dirt
You can go ahead and keep your secrets
Iβll love you till the valves donβt work
Sending all of my thoughts to Druβs family and friends. It seems like it wasnβt that long ago when we were kids playing together. I know that you will be missed by many.π
Tired of Being Courageous, a poem:
Perhaps, it's okay to be tiredβ¨of being courageous at times.β¨For sometimes,β¨you don't want to think aboutβ¨doing something afraidβ¨because you're tired of being afraid,β¨and you just want to knowβ¨what it feels likeβ¨to be okay.
Yes, there will be daysβ¨where courage finds youβ¨in the deep waters of lifeβ¨and propels you forwardβ¨with mighty waves.β¨And then, there will be other daysβ¨where all you want to doβ¨is to find a quiet placeβ¨along the shoreβ¨and let the waves of courageβ¨remain at a distance,β¨allowing yourself to just be...
and longing for thisβ¨does not make you weak.
Yes, there will be timesβ¨where courage will be exactlyβ¨what you need...β¨and then, there will also be timesβ¨where you just need roomβ¨to be stillβ¨and breathe.
A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: βI am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting Iβve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.β
