Don’t give me things that wither and fade
Give me the grass that has strong blades
Give me a song that draws me hither
Don’t dither and doubt
For you know all about me
Everything and nothing fits into this word count
Give me a love I can’t live without

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
