"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them."
Henry David Thoreau

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once."
John Green


You say
Chase the madmen away,
But it’s harder than it seems.
Slay the thought-thriving demons,
You say,
But it’s impossible when dreams
Act as their sanctuary.

Losing my religion,
Breaking down with lack of faith.
Is it better to feel pain
Than nothing at all?
Suddenly, answers don’t matter,
Suddenly madness snatches questions from my lips.
All I can hope to utter is two simple words:

I’m
Sorry.

Hollow and afraid,
No matter how hard I try,
I can’t seem to chase the madmen
Away.
