A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.


Do not wish your youth away,
It will leave you on its own,
You will miss your young days,
When you’re hurt and all alone,
Things won’t stay this simple,
Life won’t always be a game,
The world will keep on spinning,
When you’ve lost what kept you sane,
Your time is growing shorter,
Fate is stealing away your years,
There isn’t too much longer,
Until you have to face your fears,
So treasure every moment,
Live them all like they won’t last,
Because you won’t know until it hits you:
How much you miss the past.

&ldquo;Demons run when a good man goes to war<br /> Night will fall and drown the sun<br /> When a good man goes to war<br /> <br /> Friendship dies and true love lies<br /> Night will fall and the dark will rise<br /> When a good man goes to war<br /> <br /> Demons run, but count the cost<br /> The battle&#039;s won, but the child is lost&rdquo; <br /> ― Steven Moffat

I like this... it's sad what the poem says, but true. 5 stars:)
