Facts may be true, but there are very few people who dare to speak the truth.

The only one to hear them,
The last, damn twisted soul
The only one to make ammends,
When fate demands the cruel.

Shimmering, the light of hope-
A beacon of command
Binding us together,
When at last alone we stand.

All that we believe in,
All for which we strive,
All amounts for nothing
When darkness is alive.

I don't want what I have taken,
Don't need what I have stolen
Self sacrifice is pointless,
When I'm the one who's fallen.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
