&quot;Be yourself, everyone else is taken.&quot; <br /> &quot;Imagination is more important that knowledge&quot; -Albert Einstein<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t ever frown, you never know who&#039;s going to fall in love with your smile.&quot;

I am alone in the world
How do I know for sure
That this is all real?
Is life just an illusion?
Some sick joke
For someone’s entertainment
What truly defines me?
Is it my choices?
Strengths?
Thoughts?
Or is their nothing?
How do you speed up time?
Or slow it down?
Am I a bad person
For what I believe in my heart?
Are we all guilty?
Or innocent?
Or is everyone just floating around
Waiting for something new and exciting.
I think I’m lost and stuck
I know nothing for sure
But still I have to keep going.
