You’ll never know that just sitting across a room full of people, I have transformed you into a goddess. A destroyer of despair. - Henry Rollins

Sometimes a friend isn’t a friend. Sometimes a friend is a bad thing waiting to happen. You need to get some time to yourself. When you feel the need to bolt — bolt. Most of this shit you work out on your own anyway. You know what I’m talking about.

My pen knows what to do. I close my eyes and I see this girl who glows. A girl who radiates. When she smiles, she beams. She warms my heart. I open my eyes with a feeling of floating past all the garbage around me. I will emerge unscathed because I will not endeavor to hide myself from whatever is coming. Bring on the worst. I welcome it with open arms.

Someone who would go across a desert that can kill you, to get to another country? You want to be an American *that* bad? 'Cause I've never had to lift my damn finger to be an American. I'm honored to share a country with you.
