The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink. - T.s Eliot<br /> <br /> Sometime only paper will listen to you.-Unknown

Served red strings of fate never to heal,
Escaping a prison you locked yourself in,
Visitors from the dark making you squeal,
Envy filling your heart made from weakened tin.

Nothing but a broken society.
Dirting our hands with a disgusting green,
Earth can’t forgive the stares of vanity.
At the end, can never get myself clean.

Done with the world, disconnecting yourself.
Yarn wrapped around the lives of innocent.
Things used to fill an empty hole in yourself.

The fire is brewing in the snake pit,
Be careful, the scars are permanent.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot; Beauty isn&#039;t about having pretty face. It&#039;s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul&quot;

I love this piece! It's got a beautiful voice to it, and it kinda makes you wanna cry. Overall, good work.
