Something pulled me from behind, They were the shackles of my mind.  I was tied up in knots,  And a slave of my own thoughts.  I drowned in a sea,  But my body was free. The sun now seemed gray,  And life was astray.  There were walls all around,  Absolutely free o  Read More...

It was almost 3:00 am. The world was in deep slumber as the full moon night sang lullabies to the sleeping citizens. Everything was calm.
