&quot;I look in the mirror and my heart just sinks, people may think differently, but you see, they just *think*.&quot;<br /> &quot;There&#039;s a stranger in my mirror.&quot;

In this life, I'm running out of time;
I'm starting to hear the funeral chime.
I barely know what this world is about;
But I know enough for me to want out.
Maybe this is my sick fate;
When somebody tries to save me, it'll be too late...

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
