Favorite Quote:
“There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones


We fear the future,
But hate the past.
We live in the now,
Time moves too fast.
We rebuild our strength,
Without a cast,
We hold it together,
But it will never last.
Lies, they stack up and hide,
But we're truly transparent,
We see right inside.
Lies come back,
And haunt us,
They control,
And taunt us.
These lies are sharp,
Like a knife,
These are the lies,
Of everyday life
