I've Been Noticing
that for a while now, my texts have gone unanswered.My phone calls are being ignored. I am always forwarded to voicemail and forced to hang up, without speaking a word to so called “friends”. I’ve reached out to them, but they haven’t reached back. So I am faced with the question: Are they really friends? or are they just like the people I walk by every day. Do I hold any...
Letter to Dreamers
