You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

Personally right now, I’m torn between my rational self, the doing, the change-making, and my personal emotional health

In my creative communities, we know that when you wake at 3 AM at night, you mostly have your emotional time. The veil is the thinnest. You get ‘messages’
