I tried my hand at writing another poem today. This is about those people who use your words against you. Words As Weapons I used to provide you with weapons Words you could twist around And shoot them back at me Turn a confession into a lie Turn that lie into a tale And that… Continue reading A New Poem
How I Plan My Wardrobe
Recently, I have found it to be very helpful to have my ideal wardrobe visually presented in a way that I can not only reference for later, but also see how the potential pieces work together.
