If the world is one thing, and we are another then we should entitle ourselves into that, because it is the law that resides in our heart to go forth and to examine the rest of us… -Myself

I know that the rest will come
But sometimes the reminder
That you left on my desk
Will be put next to my mind
I breathe underwater even though it hurts
I can watch T.V., though nothing’s ever good on
So why do I bother even breathing
My suicide note is against the books
But my life is never the same
I feel no pain because I’m an island
