As A Human


When you smile, Do not look to the rising sun, When you frown, Do not turn towards the sea, When you are lonely, Do not tread in the sand, When you are happy, Do not sing with the wind, When you are afraid, Do not pray for the light. When you are human, Do all of the above.

ChemicallyDeformed

To be honest, There's not much to tell, I'm an everyday girl, Going from day to day, It's all grey, But that's okay, 'Cause that's all there is, Better grey than red, Better grey than dead. 15 and insane. There isn't much to know about me, because there isn't much left of me. I am a writer, an artist, and a dreamer. I am good at being none of the above. You will forget me, I guarantee it. But most of you will never know me so there is nothing to forget.
