When you're in a night that seems almost devoid of stars and you look but can't find someone to help you see. Look for that lonely star and let it guide you until you find the light. (anonymous)

This cyanide that jolts my mind,
The only way I know to keep from going blind.
When the pain I feel is all to real,
I've come so close to making a deal.
A pact with the devil from far below,
Where he'll come up to take my soul,
If this thought is my last and I'm pushed to the past,
The all this cyanide will be gone much to fast...
