'Owdy. If you're actually reading my about section instead of skimming over it, I thank you. I'd like to think I didn't take five minutes to edit this and no one read it.

But then again, when do we get what we want? Correction: when do I get what I want?

A Few Things About Me

I was born and bred in the Mighty Midwest.

My father died three years ago from ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

I am part German and trying (read: failing) to learn German.

I used to do forum signatures with Photoshop, but that computer malfunctioned.

I enjoy writing poetry. If you couldn't tell.

I spend the majority of my time fighting writer's block. Oh, pity me.

Sam Fisher Breakout

Bury Your Head inspired by Saosin's "Bury Your Head"

Leave No One Behind (AA Signature)


If I gave you the truth would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong and no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me
...
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend,I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you

~"Truth" by Seether

Is this all you have to say?
This broken boy will hang on every word
You tell me that you need me while I slowly fall apart
You'd heal your heartache with words so cool and callous
But the absence of your tears gave you away

I've been lonely like a silhouette or a serenade
A heart attack or a man betrayed
The arms of love are holding me like a silhouette or a serenade

~"Silhouette Serenade" by Vendetta Red

I wanna love, I wanna leave
I want you to love me, I want you to leave me
I want to stand where I can see; I'm watching you love me
I'm watching you leaving me now
...
I wanna know if I can be someone to turn to, who would never hurt you
But I know what you think of me; you had a breakthrough
And now I'm just news for you
...
I should have told you everything, I never gave you anything
I should have told you everything, if I could give you anything
I would tell you everything

~"Keeper" by Yellowcard
