&quot;There are limitations and there are protocols and I&rsquo;ve been warned that I&rsquo;m not supposed to threaten or beg for pieces of someone&rsquo;s soul.&quot;<br /> <br /> Richard Siken, &lsquo;The Long and Short of It<br /> <br /> &quot;My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean&quot; -unknown

Yes, I know that everything is easier done than said.
but that doesn't stop me from saying it, and hoping I can do it.
because in the end all I have is murmured promises
and hope on a summer day
so, I'll just keep making myself promises
and hoping that they'll be easier said than done.
