Favorite Quote:
"You don’t ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It’s all about survival; it’s all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in."
- Nick Hornby


a voice sings clear above the rest
awkward, insecure, but surely the best

 

and all that follow after spring to tears
because there's no way that they'll ever be better than you, dear

 

and some will practice for many many years
but you're still better, even with your fears

 

a voice sings like a bird sprung from its nest
and I think, I really think

 

that it's yours I like best.
