Favorite Quote:
Anytime anybody pulls you down, anytime anybody says you're not allowed, just remember you are not alone in the aftermath. -Adam Lambert


future looms ahead of me
present purely pressures me
past is but a part of me
no one wants to know

authorities give orders to make
me eradicate the mistakes i make
even though haggard every breath i take
is an effort in itself

grades keep slipping down and down
happy days diminish to none
hope for progress is seemingly gone
bright mind fades to black

you see the demise of bright blue skies
green light finally goes out
will you help me battle the stress of existing
or will you leave me in the dark?

(Even though this is a sad poem, this was written a few months ago, and things are better since then. Things will look up after a while.)
