All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. <br /> ~Walt Disney <br /> <br /> All the adversity I&#039;ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. <br /> ~Walt Disney

These cursed words that lay on my mind
That fills me in every waking need
That never seems to lose my sight
Driving me to the point of insanity
Why the questionable words confuse me,
Is beyond me
The taunting and ripping sounds they flood in me
Causing me to lose my mind
With a empty hand
And a cold hearted soul
I reach out to touch the unknown depths
With each cold sting I feel
Can replace these words that cursed me inside
Struggling against these dark binds of love
I realize that the light has betrayed me
As I watch the sun goes down.

I wrote this from a break up. I wanted the words to know how I feel, and what I thought was real when I was in 'love'
