&quot;He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.&quot; - Doc Johnson<br /> &quot;It&#039;s not the size of the dog in the fight. It&#039;s the size of the fight in the dog.&quot; -Ivan Moody, FFDP


In the night sky the stars twinkle like flying lights,

But down below imagined slights destroy happy lives,

We waste our time on telling lies and spinning webs,

of deceit and sometimes we feel inside,

a regret that shows we might have changed but we're generally still

the same.

I like to freewrite most of the time. Some of these will end up in songs eventually.

Really cool poem! I see a trend on your work as you seem to focus more on our harsh reality and our dark ways. Really interesting.

Lovely, I like how you focus on the brutal truth of this world, things that we, as the human race need to come together to fix. Ah, that'd be nice if it were possible. Nonetheless, I think this would be an interesting song. ^_^

I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways to not succeed.<br /> <br /> All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Lovely poem, very intriguing, could expand on the concept, but good job.
