What We Are
By Anon1 BRONZE
Lawrence, Kansas

Cruel smiles twine cold faces Sharper than razors, harder than steel, Their words spew out Worthless F****** Pieces of s*** Disgusting Close your eyes, cover your ears, sing...

Favorite Quote:
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, <br /> begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. <br /> Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.<br /> Through violence you may murder the liar, <br /> but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. <br /> Through violence you may murder the hater, <br /> but you do not murder hate. <br /> In fact, violence merely increases hate. <br /> So it goes. <br /> Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, <br /> adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. <br /> Darkness cannot drive out darkness: <br /> only light can do that. <br /> Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

When I first saw you, I was afraid to talk to you. When I first talked to you, I was afraid to like you. When I first liked you, I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you I&#039;m afraid to lose you.
