#4


Break your bones and run into the night, lose your mind in the ecstasy of tomorrow forget the pains and burdens of the day and drown in the decay, fight the waves that crash against you and drive your sharpened blade into the accursed, rage in the fire that you hold close to your soul and show the world the fangs of the person you are. Fill your cup a thousand times till you suffocate in the thirst of the impossible dreams of a mad man. Consume yourself through the tears that have been shed and relish in the longing of an unknown future. Free yourself from the noose upon the willo tree and burn it down suffer not in the mind of the self, watch as those with doubt char like a memory and shoot an arrow into the night sky and forget that which is gone. stand unshakened when the chilled winds of consciousness eat at what's left of the person you were and let the embers of your greatness guide your way
