You could be that person

Your kindness could meet their pain
Their struggle your redemptIon
That person could be you
When you walk by you leave yourself
Closed eyes see only the darkness within
But open, inquisitive to the light, the colours come
You could be that person

It's bloody huge and looks amazing... as a fan since the age of 14 to be able to be an integral part of making this happen still is mind-blowing...

Sometimes a week comes along that exposes the epidemic of male violence against women and just how vulnerable young people (women) are to falling through the net. Hoping that our groups bit of kindness is the much needed light needed in these lives. ♥️
