You can't live life without appreciating the nerdy things of life. Embrace your inner nerd!
Try to imagine life without timekeeping. You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check his watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

Tick Tock
Does he exist? Is he really a she? Who is he other then a "savior"? How come many don't believe in him? How do we know if he's right? How can we trust his sons and daughters? Does he really love each and every one of us? Why does he let bad things happen? How do WE know he's real How do we know whether or not to believe in him How do we know... Is he really our god? Could there be others? Are we just blind and and are just sheep following not the Shepard but the wolf? How do we know I know I don't know We need answers I need answers God

Faith?
The moon is full The lone wolf howls The night is a foggy one The air has chill to it The moonlight makes the forest even edgier The child in me is scared The house at the end couldn't be haunted, could it? The chills run down my spine The school boys dare is cursed upon me The dare The house couldn't be haunted. It couldn't The steps I take seem endless The house finally gets closer The house is old, and abandon The home of an 18th century witch The shackled windows were covered in spiderweb The walls were burned The floors were unstable The door, opened The inside was eery, gloomy and creepy The house was abandoned. I told myself The house wasn't The door had slammed shut behind me The upstairs rooms emitted a mischievous cackle The child that was I wanted to leave The door would not open The house's temperature suddenly got hotter The house was coursed The light The house's interior was growing red and orange The fire The fire that killed the witch will **** me The dared boy will burn The curse The dare The bullies

Al.
Every day I miss you Every day I think of you Every day I look up at you Every day I wish you were still here with us Every day I talk to you Every day I cry Every day I questioned God's judgment Every day I question the fairness of life Every day I regret not saying anything that day Every day I wish I could take back Every day I wish I could've done something to make a difference Every day I miss you Every day I love you RIP 8/18/94 12/13/13

Her Name was Kim
It all starts with a roll Your whole life is determined by the roll Will I be a cleric, a mage? Or a fighter fueled on rage... Initiative is rolled My move is after the Rolls Will I make the strength check I need Will my Saving Throw fail and leave me bleed Everything is determined by the roll Will the Dice God's answer my call? Or will they see me struggle and watch me fall When it comes to the dice, you gotta obey The dice may give, but the dice may also take it away It all ends with a roll Your whole life/adventure was controlled by the role
