fumbling through the illusion and false pretenses of my life, i am faced with the harsh realities presented by friends and foe alike...

beckoned by the empty promises of love and happiness, i follow blindly...

heedless of the dangers that come with the territory, i push on...

determined to succeed, i refuse to believe in all the negativity surrounding me...

coming upon a seren outcropping of trees, i look accross the valley, seeign the brilliance of my destiny...

how grand it looks, shimmering in all its etherial splendor...

blazing a difficult trail, i make my way through the rugged landscape, relying on the vision of my paradise...

as i crest the ridge, my heart drops at the discovery that it was a mirage...

pulling my ideals snuggly around me like a comfortable cloak, i push on once more though the rough terrain....
