Tortured Journey by Donna M. Monnig (NaPoWriMo)
Tortured JourneyNo one knows the clandestine yearnings of my soul,The weight of an albatross, takes a heavy toll. Duplicitous or righteous nature, I know not which,Machiavellian or altruistic, change like a mercurial switch. An elegy perhaps for who I was, … Continue reading
