"Those steps which seem to take a lifetime, When eyes just turn and stare. The day begins, collapsing without warning, You fade from sight, there's nothing there.No hope allowed, calls are answered daily. Questions are on your side.

A single blow, a false mistake."

"You can walk, or you can run. You don't have to be someone. I went on a summer cruise Upon an ocean born to lose. My brother said that he was dead. I saw his face and shook my head.
