Weaponry


"I wish my arm was a sword."

I wish my fingers were not knives.

"I wish I was badass enough to be dangerous with only a piece of paper."

I wish I it took more than a pencil.

"I wish my mind was sharper."

I wish my words were not sharp enough to draw blood.

"I wish I knew your secret."

My secret is motivation.

"Well then, I wish I had your motivation!"

My motivation is hell.
