The Worst Before The Best


A nightmare is a dream gone wrong. 

A dream is a manipulation of reality.

The idea of hope pushes our bodies through life.

Dreams sprout from lust and greed.

The things we wish for come from the worst within us.

You must be living in a nightmare before you can develop a dream.
