Myself is a collection of bits and pieces of information A library for social situations prompted to be brought out and read You're only who you think you are We're all in the drama I know how you act, so just play your part Shut up, shut up I'll sleep in the ocean Any wave I cannot change I just accept I wonder what makes you keep your distance I'd rather miss you than be indifferent No one really knows just who you are You don't talk to me anymore, but I know how you act, so just play your part Shut up, shut up

"stand with your lover on the ending earth- and while a(huge which by which huger than huge)whoing sea leaps to greenly hurl snow suppose we could not love,dear;imagine ourselves like living neither nor dead these (or many thousand hearts which don't and dream or many million minds which sleep and move) blind sands,at pitiless the mercy of time time time time time -how fortunate are you and i,whose home is timelessness:we who have wandered down from fragrant mountains of eternal now to frolic in such mysteries as birth and death a day(or maybe even less)" -e.e. cummings "i shall imagine life is not worth dying,if (and when)roses complain their beauties are in vain but though mankind persuades itself that every weed's a rose,roses(you feel certain)will only smile" -e.e. cummings "For what they’d never told me of, And what I never knew; It was that all the time, my love, Love would be merely you." -Rupert Brooke "It was all so sad; it was all so beautiful, too." -Kurt Vonnegut "I used to think that love was dying. But love is living." ___ "We accept the love we think we deserve." -stephen chbosky To every star and back; to every planet in this astral plane; to Titan; to whatever's out there, to you, aside film redbluegreen, to you in the universe: good luck out there.

Welcome it to the chalkboard. Stop your limbic motion just a moment and put it on a graph Wait a second for the second laugh Retire it when you're older Take a sip and follow it through Good luck my students and friends Numbers can't lie and you cannot pretend The product is a difference in you I don't want to wait anymore I don't care anymore I've answered your questions and here is the proof Welcome it to the chalkboard.
