Sometimes things are not always what they seem.  Sometimes one wants to believe in more than what is there; than what actually exists.  Some things are simply not meant for you, and that is the jagged little pill you have to swallow and still smile.

Recently I was told that there was no hope, no future.  Recently I have accepted the same.  In so few words I managed to watch - being able to do little else - as two of my dreams folded into a sad and crumpled ball, much like an aluminum can smashed under the foot of a zealous child.

I was enlightened with the sting of "you can't" and "it won't."  And so I crawl into my little crab shell.  And my eyes used to sparkle so...

"And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do."  People will always let you down, including yourself.
