Look real close to the person next to you, tell me what you see in their eyes, why must life present us with such offers as living or dying? You see me, well I want to die so the world will remember me!@ What will they remember me as is the question? A King type person with a natural love for the world around him, who are you to ever question the only true god ever known!@ I have done all, to make all around me happy, but now I am going to be happy with myself! Look one more time, look into my eyes, tell me if you see any weakness in my soul? If you do, what kind of person would you be to me to let me walk around in this way, in this state of mind! If you say you love me, would you let me go on this way?
