Favorite Quote:
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

You were born an original. Don’t become a copy.

If we cannot be ourselves, there is no need for a mirror.

As the illuminated
Sun begins to go down
The darkness comes out

And the monsters
Began to hunt as
The hunt begins
Suppliers are happy
And humorous when
The darkness is alive.

Darkness lives on the
Angry, strives for the
Sadness, but as that
One speck of light
Comes out; the darkness hides.

For it has its own
Terror too, but just
as everybody knows
When the sun goes down
And the lights go off
The monsters are out
To hunt and the darkness
Is living and striving
