Favorite Quote:
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fansty is a nessacary ingredient in living, its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what i do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities~Dr Seuss

My heart is pulling me in two,
Directions and I don’t know where to go,
I feel like I need to leave,
I don’t belong here,
But at the same time,
I know that there’s no place,
Left to go,
So I’m held prisoner,
In the one place I know,
I can be,
Even though this isn’t my real home,
It’s just another place,
I want to call home,
But my real home,
Is gone,
A thought,
Of the past,
It doesn’t exist anymore,
It’s all been taken away from me,
Again,
So my heart pulls me in all,
Directions,
To those I love,
Tearing me apart,
Into shreds.
