when we are created we were made ugly. but given the ability to create something that we could not posess, that is beauty. that is why art is important-a friend.

I'm the one that shoots the gun at the start of the race.
Before I pull the trigger, you hold on to my every word. But when the race begins, you run away with every ounce of strength inside. I'm not going to matter in the end. Because for you, I was only the beginning.
