&quot;You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust i&#039;ll rise&quot; - unknown<br /> &quot;no matter how far you go down the wrong path, you can always turn back&quot;<br /> &quot;once you hit rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up&quot;

Why is it when I see your eyes
I see all I'll ever need?
my heart's still caged, locked away,
Yet feels so completely freed.
I don't know why i still love him
though he sliced my heart
but when i bleed on paper,
why do people call it art?
