Favorite Quote:
&quot;I realize that life is risks. It&#039;s acknowledging the past but looking forward. It&#039;s taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven.&quot; <br /> -The Dead Tossed Waves.

Is a torn heart
And a victim's soul
Stolen for the worse
Blackened to coal
An unnecessary tragedy
A storm prolonging the end
A murderer of life
From time of destruction, to then.
