"You must write every single day of your life…You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads….may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world." -Ray Bradbury


Kill the dreamer because
She's nothing.
Kill the dreamer because
She can't survive the fight.
Kill the dreamer because
No one was on her side.
Kill the dreamer because
What if she were right?

Kill the dreamers
Because they cost too much to keep.
Kill the dreamers
Or else they'll strive for their dreams
Kill the dreamers
before they go too far.
Kill the dreamers
Because no one will hear their screams.

Kill the dreamer now,
Or forever hold your peace.
Kill the dreamer, quick!
Or to the world, their dream becomes caprice.
