Betrayed by trust

She was feeling like being Medusa,Similar story,Different time, His sin,And she was guilty. As if she was the one who had committed the crime. The “R-word” was messing with her head,“He’s a nice guy, no one will believe you” her friend said. And asked to forget what he did, Only if that happens to them, […]

Why only those three countries? Why not […]

Then the system steal all that wealth you gain, By creating delusional reality, Spreading lies that are now so engraved in your brain. Look around, what you see? […]
