Favorite Quote:
&quot;To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.&quot;<br /> - E.E. Cummings

Surviving
Utilizing every escape
Remembering the better days
Violently fighting these steel chains
Inside our minds. Restraints on the
Victory that is out of reach
Inside we long for more than is
Not giving up on making life
Good. We are.
