My whole life I’ve always wondered, do you see me? Do you know who I am? Do you pay attention? . I don’t ever stand out, or attempt to be recognized. I don’t crave attention, or take the spotlight. .

Blue-Eyed Love
My delicate life has never traveled so close to the edge before. I’ve tempted fate plenty of times, but today was different. I couldn’t make out the shape of my trembling hand.
