Favorite Quote:
One second you can conquer the world and suddenly you have never felt so low<br /> .<br /> When you&#039;re surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you&#039;re by yourself.

Though, their rough words are pretentious
My thoughts are infectious
Though, they paint themselves modernistic
I give truth to ugliness
Our divide

Though, they spew out insults
advantageous homeland
My foreign tongue has no territory
Houses of ottoman

Our ideals are different
I would expect no less
But how , why, you think us less?
When our hearts try forgiveness
Our folly - remembered.
