When you believe in forever
You're believing in wasted time
When you believe in the present
You're believing that your heart beats race the ticking clock
When you believe in the past
You're trusting fast fading memories

When all that is said and done
What's left to believe in?
Friends?Family?

The past is looming, the future fading
When this life is over, where to we end?
Where do we begin?

Don't believe in time
That your dreams are fading
That the nightmare is waking

Trust animosity, don't be scared to fall in love
Don't dwell on the past, present or future.

Just live.

About Me

About me

Coffee<3
I enjoy long walks on frosty winter mornings
I miss living by the ocean, with calm breezes and sun-warmed sand
I am American Indian, and proud of it.
I dance at powwows, and follow my heritage fervently.
I play the guitar, bass guitar, tenor saxophone.
In highschool yet, head cheerleader, bookworm, debate geek.
Not afraid to make new friends.
:)
