Does it really matter?
Yes it really matters. Yes, it hurts inside. Yes, to all the fees and care to heal my broken mind. Yes, to doctor's visits. Yes, to DMV. Yes, to lines unending, so at last I can be. Yes, I say, or tell myself, the one who hurts inside,...
Yours
Pitter patter, drip and drop Can you see them? Can you not? See them spatter, see them fall. See them sprayed upon the wall. See those that your knives have cut. See their hearts and ripped out guts. See them fall beneath your sword, all of...

The box was what started it. No one knew where, or why, or how, but on one day, in one split of a fraction a second, the world changed. A young girl, playing with her great-grandmother's music box, noticed it first. Dancing lightly to the melody...
Why We Care
We care because they're worth it. We care because we see. We care because sometimes they can't, And that's when we need to be There for them in the best of times, There for them in the worst, There for them in the deepest darks, Sometimes...
Becoming a Legend
