"In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. "
-William Burroughs


Life is a disappointment, but over time you grow accustomed to it. Eventually, you begin to expect failure and betrayal, and discouragement. Stupid me, I forgot to give up and landed on my face with my heart ripped from my chest.

I hate more passionately than anyone you have ever met, I guarantee it. I used to love, but I realized how ridiculous the feeling was after it knocked me around for a while. So now, this is me. Sour, disdainful, and full to the brim with hate, and no heart left to care.

If I didn't have some outlet, I'd probably be in a padded cell somewhere, and according to several psychologists, I still belong in one.

But I take life with a grain of salt. The only time you'll ever truly know my emotions is through my writings. I've been called cold and heartless, and I completely agree. Don't flatter yourself by thinking your opinion matters to me. I don't care about anyone else anymore. It hurts too badly when they let you down.




"We don't read and write poetry because it is cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
~Robin Williams, Dead Poet's Society




"To every start there is an end
I will not always be your friend
For time will pass and you will see
There is, as well, an end to me"
~Unknown (and slightly modified by me anyways)







"So this is what it comes to. The great war between us.
Where once there were the best of friends now there is great travesty.
Once we were the closest of companions you and I. I even thought I loved you once, and perhaps I did. Yet with all great love comes great pain. And so this is where the pain begins; this is where we say goodbye."
~Me (just because)
