"Remember what they say. 'There's no shortcut to a dream. It's all blood and sweat, and life is what you manage in between."' -Lyrics from "October" by Broken Bells


I have felt the bite of harsh insults,
of depression,
of the cold hands of jealousy,
of betrayal,
and of self-loathing,

I have felt the bite of the maniacal mouth of greed.
of hate,
of terror,
of disappointment,
and of love gone very wrong.

I have felt the scorching bite of desperation,
of the angry bite of hunger,
of the loss of a loved one.
of abandonment.
and of pity.
But most importantly,
I have felt the bite of life itself.

But then again...
haven't we all?

i truly enjoyed reading this piece, it really brings you to reality,,in the way that your not alone. that other people are facing life,,maybe not in the same way as you,,but they are struggling through it all too. this is really grand.! [:
