That is all that happened. Why did you hear something else?

You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past The only way to learn the secret ...is to press play.

Soul Alone by Hannah Baker I meet your eyes you don't even see me You hardly respond when I whisper hello Could be my soul mate two kindred spirits Maybe we're not I guess we'll never know My own mother you carried me in you Now you see nothing but what I wear People ask you how I'm doing You smile and nod don't let it end there Put me underneath God's sky and know me don't just see me with your eyes Take away this mask of flesh and bone and See me for my soul alone

As a writer, my only responsibility is to tell a compelling story.
