I am a seventeen-year-old high-school student who has enjoyed writing for a very long time; I dabble in fanfiction, but my true love is mostly original. I've yet to finish anything, though I've been trying to take this seriously for four years... But, I hope to be finishing a story sometime soon, and posting here for feedback and, yes, encouragement! Until then...

I am the patron saint of lost causes

A fraction of who I once believed.

It's only a matter of time,

Opinions I would try to rewrite.

If life had background music playing your song...

I have got to be honest -- I tried to escape you.

But, the orchestra plays on, and they sing,

"Oh, oh things are going to change now for the better.

And oh, things are going to change...they're going to change."

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest things to keep from you.

Lines and phrases; like, knifes, you words can cut me through.

Dismantle me down -- repair.

you dismantle me, you dismantle me.
