My heart, swollen with dreams, desires to be burst. Poked by a needle, stabbed with a knife, or torn in spite of two people at the worst. Lacking love, lacking empathy, the hole in my heart needs nursed. Fake smiles, following others orders, this is my life in-complete and rehearsed. But when I rely on other people’s love, my mind leaves my heart cursed. To have trust and to have faith, for this I thirst. If my life continues on this way, may I have permission to lay myself down in a hearse.

"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."

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
