All Deviations


To the wanderer, give a bed and pillow for the night,
To the fighter, give a blade and shield for right,
To the outlaw, give a town that knows not his name,
To the desperate, a place where no one knows his shame.
To the man who once sought peace, a white rose,
To the man who gave up long ago, a door to close,
To the man who holds on by a thread, a sword to choose,
To the man who just let go, the will to face a blade and lose.
To the dead man, a prayer and flowers for his grave,
To the one who lived, a prayer for those he couldn't save,
To the soulless, a chance to see their souls again,
To the proud, a joyful trip to the lion's den.
To the lone wolf, best condolences and a tip of the hat,
Because there's nothing you can do for someone like that.

The one truth I've learned about life that I hold to be absolutely true: There's no such thing as optimism. After this past week at school, a few phone calls, and some interesting correspondences from different people that I know, I am what one might call "broken". I don't give a rip anymore. Now, when I say "there's no such thing as optimism," don't get me wrong. I'm not stating a universal negative. I'm stating that in my life, there is no such thing. Any time that I catch myself being optimistic, it's really just lying to myself. Funny thing is that I really don't care at this point, being that I sleep a good hour or so a week. Yall have fun, now.

I don't know what I am going to do with you.

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in the respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.

Do you know what happens when you get an airsoft gun, some isopropal alcohol, a lighter, and a few thousand cue tips? I'll give you a clue--I live on the third floor of a guy's dorm--there's not a single person on earth who will know what happened but me.

Most likely find me in some sort of figurative gutter, give me a bowl of soup, and find that I'm not so entirely evil after all, while I still want to go on an ultra-destructive rampage throughout the world. Hooray!
