To he who turns away angels like you’d turn away a ghost. To he who turns away friends when he needs them the most. To he who is dangerously close, I propose a toast to he who needs it the…

There it Goes

So much for that after school special ending I was hoping was coming. I was praying was coming. Where a frozen heart’s thawed by some simple befriending. By people believing. By guitars a strumming… there it goes up in smoke,…
