People like you are the reason I try to avoid humanity I try not to make friends because they always retreat into themselves and I am strangled in my own anxiety...

From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!<br /> Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you<br /> The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss<br /> A dateless bargain to engrossing death!<br /> Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!<br /> Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on<br /> The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!<br /> Here&#039;s to my love!<br /> O true apothecary!<br /> Thy drugs are quick. Thus, with a kiss, I die.<br /> <br /> <br /> - Romeo
