Raped you,

Ate away your innocence.

Only mindless in my medications,

Never knowing your pain.

What I lack in serotonin I more than make up for in self-deprecating humor.

Zoo designer who's eyeballs need a hobby unrelated to computer work... so she writes on her laptop.

Passionate about conservation and sustainability.
