Psalms 112:4

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

Shabbat shalom. Psalms of praise are biblical songs that glorify God, celebrate His goodness, and inspire worship through words of joy, thanksgiving, and admiration. Psalms of praise are a central part of the Book of Psalms, expressing joy, gratitude, and reverence toward God.

I welcome reality free of apologies

Swallows in flight disappear in the night

and my lungs fill with tar,

I am artificial happiness with the taste of chalk,

my emotions come in a blister pack.

now my heart is ice cold and my head is full of screams,

when my eyes close at night I dream of red filling the sink.

is it of envy or insanity if I burn down everything in my path?

Psychopathic, narcissistic, full of divine emptiness.

All my rage and all my sadness:
