Break Your Box

"-I don't want to be the one the battles always choose,'cause inside I realize, I'm the one confused-"
-lyrics from:Breaking The Habit by Linkin Park

If you haven't picked this up from the lyrics above,this contest is for people who are downright fed up and depressed.This is for people who want more out of their days but can never get ahold of them.This is for people who are flooding rivers among a society of stagnant waters>This is for fans of "Dead Poets Society" and Linkin Park. This is for the hopeful found hopeless, real winners at a loss, a laughter with tears and for anyone who write out of their hearts...

    No, I meant you changed the background. It was brushed metal, and then you changed it. I noticed that when you first put this up.
