Favorite Quote:
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson


Hell is my home
The pain a soft lullaby
The flames a gentle blanket

It is heaven that I fear

Can such a perfect place even exist?

The soft light is too harsh
The melodic harps ring with
dissonance throughout my head

What is happiness?

The peace after such chaos
is horrifying

I am made to withstand pain,
not live without it.

My heart is hardened to a point
that such softness would crack it.

My strength has defined me.
My weaknesses: are imperceptible.

And yet I fear such a place as heaven…

So this makes me a demon:
the hate of a thing so revered;
And for such a child-like admission
I am scorned.

It's something that I was never able to explain when I was little, but I think I finally found a way to capture what my feelings are.
