Birth and death with profit Don’t stop to take credit The master achieves bliss Walks among those we miss Simple crimes we commit

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you&#039;re wrong.<br /> Bad decisions make good stories.

And in that prison cage may be only you, but since shadows lurked its only true to assume, but I may have been the darkness or I could&#039;ve been the guard, could&#039;ve been most anything in that dark room. but that fear would drive many insane, so I stay as the shadow, because even as the smoke from a candle twists and turns up and up into a wisp it never leave, only disappears, but as those eyes may not hide, there is something behinds those other eyes, and pain and grief is flooding in once you see secrets within that deep silent glare. but in this time I do see, I and the darkness made flesh, cause if that darkness is over used and over thrown, it needs something else to hide its secrets, to hide its pain, and while it does not help me, I understand what it is to let free, and now I am the darkness I never meant to be in that safe dark cell, was ONLY me
