The frustrating emotions that pull inside of me Churning, urging. But I do not give in, I can't give in. Burning with passion like a red hot flame, but still soft and inviting like an orange-hued...
#10wordchallenge You need to break the daily GRIND that spirals in my mind Am I worth that chance, You may not like what you find.
