Not What We Think

December 11, 2011
By Anonymous

A light will go out
I have absolutely no doubt
The curtains will shut
When no one gets up
Your feet will melt
And start to smelt
The fire will come
From right under the rug
The hope we once felt
Has dwindled in years
Nothing is left
So we give our last breath
There is nothing to fear
So just fall asleep dear
And hope that the devil
Does not appear

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
