* If so, I believe you could be part of my audience.
In whatever form you express yourself in, you can label me, “your audience.” I am open to a wide- range of experiences.
I come to notice we help more by sharing this thing we have beating under our chest.
We need to hear how our neighbor or whomever got over. We are day to day fighting, and not just for ourselves.
It’s an unmeasured value in “Safety”. I vision a place where no one else will have to worry about confessing or undressing their souls to the “Black hole”. We can’t see it, we can’t hear nothing, But we feel it, and this is why we are here, driven to sing today.
