one is all and all is one<br /> <br /> A life in fear is not life at all<br /> <br /> We only laugh when we get the money and we only cry when bankrupt:This qoute is for some<br /> <br /> Life is just a dream one big twisted dream<br /> <br /> <br /> The Less you care the less you have to loss<br /> <br /> If I die I die cool<br /> <br /> I think: therefore I am<br /> Better to be weird, then clich&eacute;

Evil men shouting
A world filled with sin
People uncaring of the human life
Looking at my people as a pack of animals
Instead as individuals
That's why they can kill my kind
I hear screaming children
To end it all is the only thing I can do
To burn is the only way
To show them the error in there ways
To show them what war does to people
This is my last resort
To set a fire to myself
And I'm confidant that this will end the suffering
You might think me to be a hero
But I just have a tolerance of zero

She makes it through her day, but doesn&#039;t just &ldquo;make it&rdquo; through her day. She holds within her at all time the faith that she belongs, even when she doesn&#039;t belong. She belongs to the world; she belongs in her life; her heart and mind and soul belong

This is great work! Favorite lines : "You may think me to be a hero, But I just have a tolerance of zero" Suggestions: taking the "and" out of "i'm confident that this will end the suffering" (also, confident was misspelled" as well as "to show them the error in their ways" you misspelled "their" mostly typos and a grammer suggestion. The message was very powerful, keep posting!
