❝my freedom was at the cost of my sanity❞ how far would you go to earn your freedom, if it meant stripping away your happiness and losing your mind. freedom does not mean liberating yourself, spreading your wings, and taking flight away from this big, bad world. nor does freedom necessarily mean freeing yourself, sometimes it means to be trapped inside your own damn mind. p r o g r e s s started; 25th feb 2018 28th March 2018 highest; #56 in poetry c o m m e n t s "I just /devoured/ this book.

Cigarettes, lilac skies and poetry at 3am: sixteen-year-old Pietro ''Pit'' Rossi knows the adrenaline of feeling empty and infinite at the same time.
