&quot;Hell is empty, all the devils are here.&quot;<br /> &quot;It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.&quot;<br /> &quot;Bring the drugs baby I can bring my pain.&quot;<br /> &ldquo;I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but <br /> I see you are unarmed!&rdquo; <br /> &quot;Darling you&#039;ll be okay.&quot;

Do not stand at my grave weeping,
I was in pain while you were all sleeping.
Don't you dare even leave a rose,
you thought I was better, but not even close.
I truly hope you do not mourn,
you all stood by while I sounded the horn.

It seems better to lay six feet under,
than to go on alone facing the thunder.

I wrote this on a day where I felt really down, and it helped me express some of my feelings.
