Greatness? No, Thanks
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V Some are born to crowns and gold, With power strong and wealth untold. Some will climb, with sweat and pain, To carve their names and stake their claim. And then there’s me—a simple bloke, Who’d rather nap than wear a cloak. Greatness...

Premium Member Thanks, But No Thanks

a runaway train blowing a warning blasts me from my dream state my heart is beating as wildly as any antelope being eaten by a cheetah I am weaker than a baby deer wide awake for three hours writing poetry which makes no sense throwing my crumpled bruised words on the floor My eyes begin to close so I wander back to my...

It's not when the wind finally ceases, it's when it returns and violently increases. I fell for its lure, I fell for its charm, it did me no good, all it did was harm. So, no...
