Favorite Quote:
“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess that means we're just products of whoever made us and we don't have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn't an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”<br /> ― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

Upon my throne 

I shall sit

The name you give

for sure will stick

For the devil is not

evil at heart

your the one

who tore him apart

so don't you shame

who you brought down

cause your the one

who gave him 

his wicked crown

So as I said ill say again

Ill sit on my throne once more

and wear my wicked crown 

forevermore

This piece was created because there is one person I know, who despises me even if they created the person I am now. Choose your friends carefully, and remember your demons well. I am here to make a deal as the devil she'll tell.
