Favorite Quote:
“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”


― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Does everyone not live a lie

behind these eyes of mine

 

I see the universe, you see the sky

behind these eyes of mine

 

The mind ages much too early in time

behind these eyes of mine

 

It is you who tries so hard to climb

behind these eyes of mine

 

Yet he is the one who truly shines

behind these eyes of mine
