It was through your very lies and deceit,
It was through your very words and your signs,
Soon enough came my very own defeat,
And thus along came my half-hearted lines.
Even if I can see them clearly now,
It’s hard to say if they were even real,
Since my imagination, I can’t feel.
It’s hard to say that it will be the same,
For we seem to play this game every day,
I am finally tired of the game,
I can actually shout hooray.
I know it cannot truly be an end,
That’s why the path always comes to a bend.

This was written out of anger at something I can't quite remember. Although if I had to guess it was because of a crush, and things taking a turn for the worse.

"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."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
