Who are you?

That's the question that keeps coming about, but still goes unanswered...

You want to know the truth?

Tell me.

Don't go for the choice. Go for the feeling.

Do the thing that you can't deny.

Hmm. That's funny

Because every corner I turned, that's all I saw. He's all I dreamed about, all I breathed.

Everything revolved around him, and he had no idea.

There we stood in the glistening green, that sprouted tiny stems of what I like to call hope.

My family and I, side by side, desperately clinging onto the thing that some people call propriety, but in my family we would call it the high class act.

The only thing he lived for was playing his video games, creating new cheat sheets to sell for Grand Theft Auto, and fries.

Malachi loved fries like any man should love his wife.

"Hey, Mal! How about you take your opinion and shove it right up you-

She was addicted to the idea that we had to be a perfect family, no matter what happened.
