Favorite Quote:
We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.


Lost in a labyrinth of ignorance
Your mind is a complete mystery
In one ear out the other
Do you even remember?
Cold nights spent in a gray scale world
You zone out, only to neglect yourself.
The others around
Become characters in the background
Faded to black.

Where did you go?
What led you to fall
On your own sword?
Like Ophelia
Had your mind wandered down the river
Engulfed by the current
Lost forever?
Or did you run and hide?
Like Hamlet?
Run from the truth into madness?
Only to see the ghosts from your past.

No matter how deep
Your labyrinth goes
Just know, I'll be waiting
At the end.
