Our Reality

Life is simply a gamble of wit and dismay. We never truly win the war yet we create so many battles until all we have is ourselves. As we grow the world ages around us. And the color we use to know no longer glimmers as brightly. As if our "training" wheels have been removed. Forever naked in humanity. We cover ourselves blindly with friends and loved ones.. For we are all alone and so very scared.. As we grow beauty moves away from our youthful homes... And the world is so very wide and empty within a blink of an eye. Nothing stops moving. Emotions are like fire and no longer are considered "adorable" or a "phase".. They are either considered a mistake or a mental flaw. It's easier now to see the darkness. Fewer people will come to your cries.. Fewer people will run towards your aid.. And the sun will sleep within the white snow. Anime provides insight to this blinding emotion. And in a way keeps us mentally sane. -Robert Burton
