    instead,
    close your eyes,
    feel the beauty around;
    it's real, it's all there in your heart.

    be that
    rose that sweetens
    the hand that crushes it;
    even under dire circumstances,
    give hope.





    This comes under very ​bad poetry, I'm sure.

    Olly, that's a sentence widely written for 'slam books' in school in this part of the world.

    I thought of heels, but it seemed too cliché, it probably wasn't in Mark Twain's day, 1984 hadn't been written.

    soul-less

    Change it
    For change is life
    And the static is death.
    Birth, growth, collapse, and re-birth lead
    Forward.
