Love is our true meaning, so show it. Don't be sad because its over, be happy because it happened. -Dr. Seuss; "Pooh will we be friends forever?" asked Piglet, "Even longer." Pooh replied. -Winnie the Pooh

Wide awake and nowhere to go
Lost and so alone
Screaming for safety
Screaming for light
Just want to forget this life
Nikolayev fills the air
Feel no pain and breathe no air
Opened up wide fell no fright
Have you forgotten so easily?
We are what you fear at night
We are your chaos shaded by lies
We are sedated into silence but you still hear our cries
We are you and you can’t deny
We are the subject of your demented lies
