"The simplest way that i can understand therapy is that we're born a certain
way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives
trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are." ~Billy Corgan

Emerald eyes,
Sparkling,
reflecting dancing flames.

Deep inside,
poisoned,
darkened by past days.

Charcoal hair
stealing
the darkness from the night.

Torn inside,
ruined,
couldn't handle the pain.

A beautiful person,
broken,
can you fix him?
