So it’s April and that means NaPoWriMo is once more upon us. I wrote this yesterday, but didn’t take the time to post it. A REQUEST Hello again, my foe, my friend. That time of year, I hope, I fear. A time for dreamers, and for fighters and for those who wish to heal. This…

Just take a step, One single step, Each one leads to one more. And with each step, Each single step, You’re farther than you were. So take a chance, Take just one chance, You thought you’d never take. Then find your life, And seize that life, Go live the life you make. It’s harder far,…
