Drops of Inspira

           I want to tell you something important. Life is hard and criticism is a dime-a-dozen.

Hello everyone!  I know it's been rather quiet on here of late, but I promise you, another post is on the way.

(Please, no language or sexual content.) Here's my result:               If you liked the poem or just want to say hi, please let me know in the comment section below. Happy writing!       ...
