She was just a girl, only a girl, watching through broken eyes.
Reminders of her hell scattered around her,
The pictures torn in two, the shattered frames.
Too hurt to regret the damage she had done,
Only thinking about how to forget all that had happened.
Walking through the shattered remains,
Leaving a bloody trail behind,
She curses the day she walked into that place.
Cursing herself for believing anything would ever go right,
Hating herself for wishing that it had.
Numb from all the pain,
Sitting on her roof watching the sky,
Searching for any shooting stars.
She just wants one wish to change something. Anything.
One wish to change her life, and to get her heart back

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
