ReplyBeautiful. But if I were one of his daughters, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to know how they made me. 😜
ReplyI’m a poet as well My grandma almost said the same thing, she asked why do I always make sad music? And I said because my life is a tragedy that I’m trying to turn into a comedy. My mother was murdered by her husband not my father but the but the father of my halfbrothers that are twins so yeah my music didn’t start getting happy until recently when I’ve learned to let go of the pain still grieving. I don’t think that I ever go away happened when I was 15 still feeling it to this day this interview meant a lot to me. God bless this man and God bless, Stephen. 💯
ReplyLovely 🥰 💜🩷💋
