What is Farewell to Arms?

I’m taking baby steps toward happiness and hopefulness; are your arms open to catch me if I fall? Don’t worry, I’m not packing; however, if you pick me up, it won’t be long till you bid farewell to your peace of mind as I take aim at the walls around your heart.

What is Lost and Found?
What is Lost and Found?

"You'd lose your head if it wasn't attached to your neck," and what a loss that would be! Compared to the keys, cell phones, wallets, sunglasses (and dignity) I've lost throughout the years, losing my head would be disastrous since it connects me to my senses.
