Favorite Quote:
In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write? -Rainer Maria Rilke

Looking fresh from the womb without any scars,
You grow your hair out and never stay in bed.
I don’t listen to you anymore,
Biting my tongue where it’s already been bitten,
I don’t talk to you anymore.
