Favorite Quote:
&quot;Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.&quot; <br /> -Leo Buscagilia

Rain drops are a soothing requirement of great silence.
"Pip, Plop," hear the rain itching skin?
Thoughts and weapons compose immense violence.
My individuality is inclined to end.
Overflowing with blood upon my temples; All the rain in the world can't sweep away the red.
Before I departure, I smiled with a conspiracy dimple.
I slit my wrist to make sure I was dead.
