They parade around like they don’t even care….
Am I missing something? Are they even SLIGHTLY aware?



Something is wrong…



It realy isn’t right….
This is all one big and meaningless fight.




Won’t you listen to me…?




What is their in this world?
My heart is twisted and curled.


What is the meaning of life?
To find the right husband or wife?



The answer is here...
It's something to fear.


75% work
25% perk


Life is deceiving,
But I find my self grieving.

I want to find it too
A table for two

I’ve fallen for the trap,
Yet I still need to clap,
For the ones full of crap,
They seem to have avoided the trigger that will snap.


The world is all the same.


For me it's mostly paine.


Yet I stay for the play,
And I'm alone all day.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

&quot;I should have found myself a from of activity in keeping with it, to be precise, drinking in the health of the &quot;sublime and beautiful.&quot; I should have snatched at every opportunity to drop a tear into my glass and then drain it to all that is &quot;sublime and beautiful.&quot; I should then have turned everything into the sublime and beautiful; in the nastiest, unquestionable trash, I should have sought out the sublime and the beautiful.&quot;<br /> <br /> -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, from Notes from the Underground
