Oh, high and mighty, perched so falsely
Upon a throne of fabrications, so costly
In a mist of self-deceit, you dwellCasting on me faults, in your own spellBelieving your own lies, a heart so cold
Aiming to taint mine, in the mold you hold
In despising others, you reveal your own plight
Mirroring the flaws in you, hidden from sight
Tearing me apart, is tearing at your core

My son & I
Thank you Mom
For teaching me right from wrong,
And feeding me so I could grow strong.
For reading to me despite your yawns,
And singing to me your favorite songs.
For patching me up when I'd scrape along,
And making me feel like I belong.

For building me up when I feel small,
And picking me up when I fall.
For guiding me since I could crawl,

I finally fixed my "awesome art" tablet that has been broken for almost two years! It's a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (the older model that was released in 2012) and it is the most accurate and realistic way I've found to digitally draw or paint. I felt like I'd list my right arm when it went through a software update and would no longer boot up.

My son and I currently live with my grandparents in the home I spent most of my childhood in. It is quite strange to be raising my son in the same house that I was raised in. The house is pretty much the same as it was when I was a kid but the neighborhood has changed so much.
