Favorite Quote:
"I like flaws, I think they make things interesting." -Wes Baker


I thought you were a map

That would help me find my way

All you did was lead me astray

 

I ventured far from the path

Trying not to look back

I did though and saw the aftermath

 

My footsteps were filled with tears

From too many brokenhearted years

I felt defeated and filled with fear

 

This couldn't be my whole life

There had to be something more

Than the pain in my heart sticking out like a knife

 

I searched everywhere

Trying to find something better than despair

All I found was how the world could be so unfair

I cried myself to sleep at night

And during the day I was wide awake with fright

 

I decided to try changing directions

So I found a new trail

One that I knew would never fail.
