Favorite Quote:
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e. e. cummings


Darkened fog lurks over these towering walls
Consuming around the continuing rows
Shadowing their figures with its vehement tongue
Its deceased planets and rotten flowers fume the air with a deadly pleasure
Trees whose branches stretch upwards, trying to grasp onto the invisible sky
Begging for someone to reach through the clouds to save them
Its beast stalk with glowing eyes
Tempting its prey with its swift grace
They snatch and claw at those who wander
And I among them walk with similar scars from those hidden things
Lacing myself through the trees
Treading on damp ground
Running and running as far as I can go
Up ahead I have heard an opening awaits
Clean and fresh far beyond my sight
However I have but far to go
And looks can be deceiving.

love it! Love the imagery.  I can totally picture it.  Love the dark side to it as well.  Great job.
