Favorite Quote:
"I'd wanted to stay on that porch with him until the sun shone bright on both of us, but i didn't. I stood up and walked down the steps. I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it." from I am the Messanger by Markus Zusak.

“Tomorrow,”
you say
as you lie in your bed
with sheets up over your head.
“Tomorrow
light will find some way
and all this ache will go away
and I will be free of sorrow.”
But I’m sorry my child.
Stay in the warmth of your bed
with sheets up over your head
because Tomorrow,
Tomorrow can only dawn as dark as today.
