Favorite Quote:
"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong." ~John Lennon

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" ~John Lennon

"When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream." ~John Lennon

You sit there staring at me,
Like I’m crazy,
Like I need help,
But I don’t,
I’m the normal one,
Can’t you see it?
It’s there,
You stand up and walk away,
I yell your name in the darkness,
Why can’t they see you?
You come back with a doll,
‘Like in the old times remember,’ you whisper,
Why am I the only one that can hear you?
‘She’s there can’t you see?’
They turn to where I’m pointing,
You smile like always,
My mom looks at me with tears in her eyes,
‘Honey, she has been dead for the past 3 weeks.’
You continue smiling,
They walk away,
I look for you,
But the only thing left is the doll.
