The only thing you should know about me is that I love to read, and I love to write.
A beautiful spring day Happened a fallen falcon Left in the wind To rot And with it came The forgotten embers of a White-washed lion Ready, waiting, preying To pounce.

Hero
"We're all gonna die. We're gonna die, Alex. In the end, life shortens, and we're gone. Thats why we do things that makes us feel alive."

Life Shortens
It still stuns me, to this day, that there are some people out there who don't enjoy reading, who the string of words and the scent of used pages in between the covers of a book don't give them any sort of pleasure. Who despise literature and art and love. Who dislike it for the sole reasoning that society does not like it. Reading isn't about what everyone else finds pleasure in - it may not be *** or food or sleep, but it's something, and few people hold dear to it. Reading is about what you like. Not everyone else - you. People hold to belief that words, though may pleasure some people, do not do anything for the world. They do not save lives or seek justice or help secure society or regulate a country and the needs of an individual. Sure, without professions like the medical and legal and political ones, there may be no lives, at all. But without books, without art and music and passion, there would be no love, and there would be no reason to live.

Reading
The heart was a delicate place. To scratch it was greater treason than regicide.

The Heart
Your way of escaping was sleeping, or drinking. My way was books.

Unplanned Moments
I like writing because there's all these words in my head that i'm never able to say out loud because of how introverted and anxious I am and people never seem to want to listen to me talk so by writing, I can actually speak. And the world will actually listen.

Writing
I don't get offended when people criticise me because nobody can hurt me more than i've hurt myself.

Criticism
To the outcasts, the freaks To the silent ones, the unheard To the criers, the broken To the heartless, the damaged To the screamers, the closed off To the drowners, the dying To the breathers, the living To the strong, the weak To the flimsy, the fragile To the suicidal, the struggling To the raging, the bitter To the sad, the lonely To the misunderstood, the confused To the 'why don't you talk,' the 'why don't you shut up?' To the 'it's all in your head,' the 'It's not important enough' To the 'stop acting,' the 'stop faking' To the 'stop being so dramatic,' the 'there are people worse off than you' To the 'shut up,' the 'you're making no sense' To the 'I don't understand,' the 'nobody feels this way' To the 'I can't help you,' the 'get over it' To the 'you're weird,' the 'this isn't normal' To the 'go away,' the 'nobody wants you here' To the 'you break everything you touch,' the 'just die already' To the 'broken ones,' the 'freaks' To everyone, to always To whatever you do, whatever you say To everything, to everyday You are not alone. ~ hk
