&quot;Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it&#039;s ability to climb a tree, it will live its entire life believing that it is stupid&quot;- Albert Einstein<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m pretty sure I don&#039;t want your kibble&quot; - Kelsey Brooke Rushing

Capsules of hate
to keep your mind running straight,
now drink out the kinks in your lies
to come back from the brink, or to die.
Eat yourself insane.
Body and soul we're all the same.
You've got yourself to blame
for bringing you down in shameful flame.

Cry out, cry out
Beg to see another day.
Scream and shout
Scream and shout,
for an elegant death or for you to stay

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.
