Here prices skyrocket.
Need to find new ways to pay.
The struggle is real.
You’d better save up my friend.
As it’s not getting cheaper…

Burning Lessons

M.A.D. Works

Burn, baby, burn
For all the wrong things you have done,
Ashes drift where shadows turn,
In the fire, the past is spun.

Let the flames ignite the night,
From the embers, strength will rise,
In each end, there lies new light,
In the ashes, hope complies.

Longing for friendship
Wishes bloom in the heart’s song
A bond yet to be
I swear that it is out there
Be true to yourself, you’ll see…

Possibilities

M.A.D. Works
possibility

Paths yet to travel, dreams yet to unfold,
Open hearts and minds, embracing stories untold.
Seeking the spark where hope intertwines,
Stepping forward, where the light shines.
Infinite chances dance in the air,
Believe in the magic, let go of despair.
Inviting tomorrow with a sense of wonder,
Life’s beautiful journey, ready to ponder.
In every moment, a choice to explore,
Take a breath, for the world offers more.
Yield not to doubt, let your spirit soar.
