Dear Unlucky piece of paper,
According to the dictionary, a criminal is someone who has committed a crime. A lawbreaker, offender, villain, delinquent and lastly, a sinner. Now I do admit I'm all of those but why does seeing sinner make me feel.....bad? I will never regret the things that I have done in my life, the lives I've taken or will take. I was born with vengeance in my heart, blood in my eyes and I turned my back on righteousness, creation's morals a long time ago because I knew I would be a mirror, I know I will become a killer.
