I am an artist bound only for the poet's glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

These imperfections you gave,
These hearts full of hate.
Forgotten and forsaken,
Created but wasted.

Are you alive?
Are we dead in your eyes?


Let the hate bond us,
Bound by this gun.
And when we are all gone,
He will know the horrors of what he has done.


Are you alive?
Are we dead in your eyes?
Forgive us god, we tried,
But we were born in a world already entangled with lies.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
