Before people educate themselves on everything about you, they're not allowed to open their venomous mouthes and have an opinion

The grand victories of the future must be won by man, and by man alone.

But I missed to late, that what I wasn't looking for, when she left her reasons in the rain.

Look around; the Lord has provided a way of escape. Walk through i
