A broken man
does no wrong

he sees not
the hurt he
passes along

he takes no blame
because you’ve
done the same

no shame
or guilt added
to his name

no support
good enough
all love unseen

respect requested
now an
absent dream

‘cuz as pleasant
as he may be
there is nothing
that he sees

because a
broken man
can do
no wrong.

Sea breeze clears my mind as the waves washes the tension away. Belize my native land that breathes creativity and uniqueness with every ray of sunshine. Written words my way of standing up and speaking out.
