Four Leaf Clovers


Overcome.

Vainity was my addiction

Even now it's my affliction.

Rivers running

Away, away, the burning

Sun. Sunsets are limited,

You never know which will be your last

One. One burst of beauty,

That's us. One big burst of beauty.

And then a question.

My mom raise me brother and I as a single mother who struggled to pay bills or provide for her two kids. But, I don't let that affect my life. Sure it didn't have the happiest beginning but that doesn't mean that my story won't have a happy ending.
