Favorite Quote:
Why I am here, I know not; where I shall go, it is useless to enquire. In the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, and infinity why should I be anxious of an atom?<br /> -Lord Byron

Everyday I walk past in safe knowing of the closed gateways
Freezing snow at night while slowly melting in dream like state inception by day
Open doors, old white trucks, abandoned asylums
Why must green trapped cages open in cringing horror
Little girls laughing sounds pass you by
Screams, explosions, silence
Sweet white and purple forget-me-nots pass you by on your way out
That dread which once filled you up eating at you now looks silly a pretty scene lies at your path
Doors closed, world starts
Memories disappear waiting for the end to come
Flying at the speed of light thoughts spinning like a never ending token suddenly stop circling and finally dropping
