"Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - Paul Bowes, The sheltering Sky

"I could buy myself a reason
I could sell myself a job
I could hang myself on treason
(Oh), I am my own damn god!" - Modest Mouse

"Music is the strongest form of magic." - Marilyn Manson

"When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?" - Marilyn Manson

"If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?" - Modest Mouse

"An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. " - Charles Bukowski

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead." -Charles Bukowski

"As you gaze upon me, don't see me as a freak of nature, see me as different...see me as open minded, see me as a revolutionary..." - Mark

"The shortness of life is just the tip of the iceberg. Its impossible to understand what will happen after one will die, but why focus on something you cannot understand nor control. Live for the moment rather then making it so you have appeased some unseen force for the gift of a better afterlife, that makes you selfish, as you have greater goals above everyone else that you decide to help." - Mark

"I am not really a bad person, I seem bad, insane even to others cause I think differently, but because i am seen different, that makes me insane? Look at everyone else in history, you seen people being attacked for being different, I suppose the circle is ever continuing, give people a chance before you attack, you might actually decide to like them, hell, you might even learn something..." - Mark


"People talk about salvation, or after death you believe in a heaven or hell. The thing I got to say, 'why worry?'. In my opinion, I feel if you live for the afterlife, and what you believe is there, well, good for you. If not, you wasted your life. Another thing is if heaven is the great reward where you cannot sin, well, isn't that a boring afterlife? If you go to hell and being tortured, well, that sucks, but also gets old after a while. If you want to live, live for life, not the afterlife..." - Mark


I live in the United States, sorta a goth, so alot of my poems are probably dark or whatnot, but i am trying to write about nature more. Yet, now as I type, i sorta dropped the dark image and now am happier, less morbid and upbeat! 18 years old. I also have sorta an unique ability or something like that to feel others pain and suffering or imagine myself in others shoes (perhaps its cause i listen more then talk, hell if i know! haha). its a useful tool to derive emotions to fuel such works. Well, i am in college now, alot better in spirit and emotion and such, so i am hoping just going with happier stuff...but i cant make promises! haha.

I really cant deal with arrogant people and will most likely punch on e in the face if encountered with them. Unfortunately, i cant speak well, and sense i get angry to fast its hard for me to really talk my way out of stuff. Other then that, i am really nice and like to give everyone a chance. Also, I like to know more people and make friends!

Love anything dark in nature or morbid but also like nature and animals, such as wolves. Anyway, i am starting to write poetry again so some works might looks terrible but, i guess i just have to practice more. It may take awhile for me to write or gain inspiration and i tend to write sometimes in the view of the hurt or dying. Also, my spelling is alittle terrible, so is my grammer so forgive me for that. anyway, hope you enjoy my poems or whatnot.

I Am an easy person to get along with, as long as you dont annoy me. I love music and trying to play...keyword is trying!! haha. Favorite band is still seether!

peace.
