Truth is eternal. Knowledge is changeable. It is disastrous to confuse them.

-Madeleine L'Engle


They say

It can heal anything,

A heartbreak or physical pain

They say

It is powerful and strong

Like a brick building, it will never fall

They say

It will get you through whatever

You are our whole life

I say

It murders innocent people

Waiting patiently from behind

I say

It hides behind wordless talk

A coward that doesn’t meet your eyes

I say

It is a savage beast

You will always be nothing
