I will tell them, I survived the hell of man’s design. A prison for the mind. I will tell them that most of my story was told without ever saying a word. The stress under my eyes, the wrinkle in my smile, the tension in my gaze and the white in my beard.
My carelessness and quick irritation.
I will tell them I played, I will tell them that I worked, I will tell them I’ve grown and we have grown apart. | LH
