How can I make your ugly beautiful?

How can I make your ugly beautiful? / First I have to go to that ugly place/ put it in verse and give it perspective/ Raw dog no contraceptive/ only to give birth to a beautiful truth/ My beautiful truth to be exact/ since we are all aware of the fact/ that your truth and my […]

My Humble Apologies to Those Who Pretend…

I was once very critical of those who pretended to be something they were not. I once held myself in high esteem in regards to being exactly who I said I was.
