To My Silent Readers
Dear Silent Readers, I am sorry I am calling you out, I am sorry there is no more hiding my frustration I can not control these words from my mouth. I feel you silently build me up, you grow me with your tranquil waters, however lately I have been experiencing the stormy weathers with downpours and…

Gliese 581D (It is what it is) by Eli Oko

Love
There is this one person. One human being on earth whom understands the cryptic analogy I possess. Where our sentences correlate and opinions complement each others thoughts and ambitions.
