Transcription: Piece 10
ALL THIS, and we're
in THE middle of this
29 pieces Legacy project,
THAT REQUIRES so much,
and I want to HIDE,
RUN away, Disappear.
I feel so much anger
+ Disappointment about
TRUMP, DESTRUCTION of
the ENVIRONMENT,
DESTRUCTION of Beauty,
and it FREEZES me.
I give in to a BIG
"so what?" when
TRYING TO gear myself
