Favorite Quote:
"And it's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most, not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes. There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind." - Zac Brown Band


My bones ignite, I need no shell.
Their voices boom loudly when they hide, you see:
Far too superior am I to fall under their spell.

Pathetic whimpers they wish to sell,
They thrash their claws, but they can’t touch me.
My bones ignite, I need no shell.

I rupture my soul like an anxious bell
Words like white fire pour rapidly;
Far too superior am I to fall under their spell.

And upon those words of which I dwell
I release my consciously adhesive degree:
My bones ignite! I need no shell.

Hence lack of candor, the ways in which I excel
Need no jungle-esque analogy.
My bones ignite as they release their shell,
Far too superior am I to fall under such spell.
