Article voiceover
Preface
The struggle is real. The battles of relationships, society, and personal challenges are real. This collection explores all that and concludes pretty concisely:
“Do not hesitate. Do not grasp.”
Or, as Yoda might say in a much clearer way:
“Do or do not, there is no try.”
What Darkness Lies Inside You
That feeling you get, when I pass by The reason that I, never try to stop I could tell, but you know! Searching skies above, you want to change I see the need, the scowls inside You want more, so I give!
