""We succeeded in taking that picture (from deep space), and if you look a it, you see a dot. Thats here. That's home. Thats us. On it, everyone you ever heard of


Has there ever been a time
When you couldn't breathe
Couldn't seem to control
Your ragged and heavy breath
Or your heart beating out of your chest
Or the tears pouring from your eyes

Has there ever been a time
When you wanted something so bad
It was all you had ever dreamed of

Has there ever been a time
When the thing you want most in life
Is so close
That you could almost touch it

Has there ever been a time
When what you want most
Has been snatched away
Out of your grasp
Just moments before reaching it

Has there ever been a time
In life
When you've been left
Devastated

This is pretty good I like it. The last line gave me goose bumps it was so good. While I was reading it I was wondering why this piece wasn't called Has There Ever Been A Time instead of Devestated and you answered my question haha. I saw your comment on P.S. Don't Save Me so I decided I'd see what you've written or drawn haha. So I was wondering the same thing if you wouldn't mind checkin' out some of my things. None of my favorite things I've written have been posted online unfortunately though.  Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
