Your heart is white with absence
No original thought goes through your head
A failure of personality hence,
Such as a tear has never been shed
You don’t move from your opinions
No speck of dirt on your colorless dress
A porcelain face seems to withhold your poisons.
At night, running barefoot in your nightdress,
A mob of angry Christians run along.
There will, indeed, be a hanging tonight.
It was too bad the witch is headstrong,
Crying, she said ‘I love God’ in fright.
They found her guilty. Thank God, you say.
Hell is waiting for you, while you accuse away.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
