The Relevancy of Life and All that Reside in its Deathgrip
November 27, 2009
They say life is like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're gonna get.
But that's not necessarily true.
I know.
I always know what I'M gonna get.
Pain.
Pain.
More pain.
Always.
It's like a vicious circle, my life.
Every time I manage to scramble my way up,
To get just the tiniest breath of fresh air,
God inevitably decides to drag me back under again.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
