I won't be hurt by silly words
by Tara-Kay

You people can just talk about me all day,
I really don't give a damn about what you say,
You can call me a thousand names,
I am not interested in your silly games.

You can laugh at the clothes I wear,
Because believe me I just don't care,
I won't think about it, I won't cry,
I will still walk around, my head up high.

I am sure that forever I will be strong,
I am here and it's where I belong.
I won't change who I am for anyone,
I was strong from when my life begun.

My bones are weak and I am small,
But I'll stand high, I won't fall,
I've been a victim of words since I was born,
My heart is battered but its not torn.

You people can just talk about me all day,
I really don't give a damn about what you say,
You can call me a thousand names,
I am not interested in your silly games.

It'll take much more to make me leave,
I'm not stupid, I can achieve.
I'll be flying up there with the birds,
I won't be hurt by silly words.

~Postpartum Deport~

A relationship bound by the court,
two parents yearning to abort.
One child's postpartum deport,
a life, from the start, out of sorts.

The help of two elders, they sought,
a custody battle, never fought.
Drug addict parents, got caught,
important lessons, never taught.

A baby that was left behind,
consequences of a legal bind.
A lifestyle of a different kind,
viewpoints from a distorted mind.

A family separated by years in time,
a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
Two people, making up for another's crime,
always living off of their last dime.

A difficult situation from the start,
a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
A family, nearly torn apart,
two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

An unwanted boy, now full grown,
held together by seams, left un-sewn.
Approaching life with a whole different tone,
hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Out On The Tiles~

Each jagged edge bares its own unique pattern.
Patterns that diminish, but are soon recreated.
Recreated with similar differences, but not the same,
for "same" is just a metaphor for the truly impossible.

As each piece slips through lucent air,
they are preparing for their second decent.
A decent much less abrupt than that of the first,
for the first decent was all that mattered.

Now, that which was once whole, is shattered,
with each rise and fall pieces chip and settle.
Settle upon ground where they lay terrified,
terrified to see their eternal bonds forever broken.

Noise of shattering dulls, a new sound emerges,
its pattern obvious to those who have fallen.
A shadow covers the remains of what used to be,
what used to hold God's most beautiful creation.

The shadow disappears, yet darkness remains,
sounds of a rain stick fill the empty room.
A quick silence, and a new melody occupies the air,
melodies of a bag slowly filled with undesirable candy.

Tiny pieces left in the light are soon overwhelmed,
brushed under the stove where I stand exhausted.
No longer does my vase stand stocked with roses,
no longer is my apartment filled with their sweet aroma.

Watching the vase fall I realize our similarities,
analyzing each moment of its decent as my own.
The initial fall, instigated by that of a mere bump,
a slight mishap, with a devastating outcome.

~Too many times we let minuscule incidents rile us up. All too often these incidents escalate into something unmanageable. If we just chill out and go with the flow, major problems can be avoided. Unlike the vase, when we shatter the pieces are a whole lot easier to pick up. Don't leave your pieces lying out on the tiles, pick them up and put yourself back together. Life is too short to dwell on the past.~

Taking It Away

Walks in the rain.
Talking away the pain.
Dancing with no reason.
Treating silence like treason.
Laughing so hard we cry.
Never wanting to say goodbye.
This is what I remember.
Haven't seeing you since November.
All these memories seem like gold.
All I'm still trying to hold.
This is what I'm left with.
Even though it all seems to be a myth.
I cry out to you.
But you don't have a clue.
It would be grand.
Only if baby... you could understand.

BUT THAT TIME

We will live through the days
No matter if it is sun or rain.
We have hope for a happy tomorrow
Even if today we live through pain.
The days come and go
In every moment,
There is something new to see.
Today,
While you don't respect my feelings
Tomorrow,
The same feelings may not be.
There will also be a day,
When my memories take over your sleep.
Then that time,
I will not have pity.
You will look for me,
In every road and street.
But that time,
I will not be in this city.

How Do You Want To Die

Do you want to fall,
Slipping silently over space,
For a precious moment contained in eternity,
Then pushed down,
Even further than the ground,
To a pit of darkness so deep,
You will never climb out.

Would you prefer to die in your bed,
After your last words have been said,
To all you hold beloved,
Who watch you as you sleep,
And as you are finally dead.

Or to push another being,
Away from a fatal blow,
To take it yourself,
And die a hero.

There are many ways to die,
And there are many people who have fallen,
Or bled.
This is my question.
How do you want to die?

And my answer is;
Not yet.

OOPS! IGNORE THIS! i entered 2 times silly me. aw;erkgnaewrhnawlekrnh;arehpaejrhaekrhaerh

sorry again.

Is This The End?

The world is dying
going corrupt
people killing daily
will the world blow up?

the lucky country
not so lucky anymore
soldiers off here and there
keeping 'peace' between the poor

save us from our doom
this fate we will endure
we bought it upon ourselves
about that i am sure

people crying
make no amends
everyones dying
is this the end??

A Final Prayer
by †!♪~*`Bryce Dressler`*~♪!†

A slow rolling tear
Falling down his cheek
As he stood over her bed
he began to feel weak

He couldn't believe it
No way this was true
He couldn't live without her
He wouldn't know what to do

He dropped to his knees
At the head of her bed
Looked up to the ceiling
Crying he said,

"Why'd you do this god
Why'd you take her from me
I need her so much
Why can't you see

It can't end this way
No, she can't die
God please don't do this
I can't say goodbye

She can't go away
Not here, not now
I'll do anything to bring her back
Please just tell me how

Take the life from me
Take my heart and soul
God please bring her back
I don't care what the tole

Take the blood from my veins
The breathe from my chest
I don't care if I die
Just put me to rest

God please listen
The pain is to much to bare
Her life will end real soon
If at all you care"

He stopped speaking for a minute
As she layed there dying
The only sound to be heard
Was of the teenage boy's crying

His tears crashed to the floor
As he barely made a stand
He reached across her body
And held her hand-in-hand

As he wiped his eyes
He couldnt understand
Whyd this have to happen
Whyd it have to end?

He had one last thing to do
As he watched her lay
He had one last minute
One last thing to say

"I have one more thing to ask
a favor, God, from you
If you are going to take her
Can you please take me too?"

Again he fell to his knees
Not knowing what else to say
He held her hand tight
Not ready to give her away

But then he heard the monitor
Beep for the final time
And after that, all to be heard
Was the single flat line.

He let her hand go
And kissed her on the cheek
As more tears came to his eyes
He prayed they'd soon meet

Although she is in heaven
Past the clouds and above
They could deny him her body
But not their love

And when he gets to heaven
He will soon see
She will be waiting
To be together...Eternally

(C) 2005 Bryce Dressler

Wings of a vampire
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

The cold dark shadow
floats across the ground
a flicker, then gone.
high above
something no one knows
foreign to all,
his silent flight
sends him traveling
to any home he may find,
a maiden awaiting,
inviting him in
only to shriek in fear
as he pierces their skin
sending chills up the spine
he flees the awakening,
and the mortals hurry,
but to slowly,
for he is gone
now only a shadow,
a dream,
only moon light touching
the wings of a vampire

Here She Lies (Epitaph)

Here she lies not making a sound,
soon to be quietly resting under ground.
A wonderful mother and amazing wife,
now has went to heaven for eternal life.

Goodbye my Lover

I guess this is goodbye, although not in my heart,
Said you'd never leave me, yet now we are apart.
You said you'd love me until the day I die,
Promising never to hurt me, never to make me cry.

Look at us now, just two faces among the crowd,
Thought you loved me, but this was not allowed.
Now I sit here, alone crying in my bed,
Yet I can't get our image out of my head.

Goodbye my lover, this is now the end,
No more hanging out, no longer my best friend.
Goodbye sweetie, love you although you're gone,
Now I guess it's time, for me to just move on.

I remember a time, way back when we were young,
"We Belong Together" is what we always sung.
Now look at us, can't even talk anymore,
Yet you took my heart when you walked out the door.

Told me on the phone, how one day we'd be wed,
Now not a word spoken, all love has completely fled.
Can't get over, what you said to me that night,
Let me just say, you and I, never again will be alright.

Goodbye my lover, this seems to be the end,
Still can't believe I lost my very best friend.
Goodbye sweetie, love you though you're gone,
In my heart you'll always be there, but it's time to move on.

Feeling What They May

Now my children,
I'm going to tell you a tale,
Of pain and suffering,
Where everyone fails.
There are no hero's;
No knights to save the day,
There is no more light,
To show you the way.
I'll tell you of a tale,
Now filled with blood;
Once was sweet;
I'll tell you of love.

This story begins,
One grand day,
With a boy and a girl,
Feeling what they may.
I would tell you,
Of the feelings they repress,
But these things you can't explain,
NOr put them to the test.
They were given,
A love anew,
One little chance,
That they all ready blew.
Children in love,
An absurd little thing!
They shouldn't have done it,
For their hearts now sting.
Perhaps they should have,
Given up in the beginning,
For we all new,
There would be no winning.
But they went on,
Not heeding a care,
Not listening,
To what we shared.

They were told,
They could not be,
They were too young,
They could not see.
This love of theirs,
Will tear them apart,
Leave them there,
To pick up their hearts.
Bu alas,
Things soon failed,
And they hid their hearts,
Behind a broken viel.
Things didn't go right,
As they had told them before,
They weren't right together,
They were now sure.

So the boy and girl,
Lonely and lost,
Left each other,
A a most precious cost.
Letting themselves go,
To poison and blade,
They disappeared,
Going where they bade.
But they soon found;
I must say I fear,
They couldn't live in life or death,
Without the other near.
Their souls soon linked,
Together as they may,
Boy and girl,
Feeling what they may.

The Tale Of A Werewolf

Light turns to shadows
As day turns to night
My presence is unknown
I must stay out of sight

I grow steadily weary
The time is drawing near
Slowly I am filled with dread
I start to shake with fear

I stumble to a room
Lock myself in tight
There's no way I can escape
There'll be no killings tonight

Suddenly the changes start
In agony I scream
This is way too much to bear
I wish this were a dream

The pain finally stops
I slowly rise to my feet
Power surges through my body
I'm a beast that knows no defeat

I race around the room
Frantically searching for a way out
Frustration grows inside me
Until I want to shout

A howl comes from my throat
I hurl myself at the door
I will not be trapped
I never have been before

The door splinters on impact
Joyously I howl
I jump through an open window
To begin my midnight prowl

I race through the woods
The full moon leading the way
The thirst for blood surges
I must find my prey

A smell drifts through the air
Unmistakably fresh
I run in that direction
Towards the scent of human flesh

Mad with desire
I fly through the night
I come to a camp
Killing everyone in sight

In the morning I awaken
In my human form once again
I realize I'm in the woods
And my head begins to swim

I take in my surroundings
Gasping at the sight
The ground is covered with blood
I shudder as I remember the night

Sorrow fills my body
Tears fall down my face
Knowing that I must leave
I vanish without a trace

Enemy Love

He's an evil tyrant
A man I need to destroy
So why do I love him?
His beautiful face haunts my dreams
I can't get him out of my mind
I try to bury my feelings away
To keep them secret
But that's impossible
I love him
I don't want to admit it
But i do
He's the enemy
So i can't love him
But I can't stop thinking about him
His beautiful face
His long,pale blonde hair
His striking blue eyes
He's absolutely amazing
I love him
But i have to keep this enemy love
A secret
For now

I have a lot of favs but this is one of my best

WHY'D YOU STOP TO READ THIS?

You're not even halfway there!

In Memory Of Bev

In the dead of night
She let go
And her prescence wasnt there anymore
She loosened her grip
And let her life fly away
She had wrote on a piece of paper

"I had my share of good and bad
I need to let go
Im tired of being sick
And sick of holding on
Im weary of living a cancer-controled life
And knowing Im about to leave my family
Please dont be saddened
I need the best for me
Living off a I.V in a hospital room
Is too much for me to handle
I need to be free
Free of pain and the grips
Of a deadly thing choking me
Im weak and numb
So I need to be going
I wish good luck for you all
Dont grieve for me
Just be happy that Im not hurting anymore"

They found her on her bed
With her eyes closed
And hands crossed
A ray of sunshine beamed across her
From the opened drapes of the hospital room
She looked like an Angel

Animon
By Ravyn Faelynn

She died.
And because of her death I sit here,
All alone.
How am I supposed to be her
When she has died?
I cannot be C*****!
She was bright and pure,
A beautiful soul....
Murdered by the ruthlessness
Of this God forsaken world!
She was loved and happy,
And I cannot live up to the name.
So here i am,
Her dark shadow.
Living and breathing darkness,
Pathetic and sad.
I don't know which way to turn,
I'm lost without my Angel,
Damned to this Hell
Because I am NOT her...
And I won't ever be her again;
She died...

*it's definately not my best.... but it's the best one that I have with me on vacaion, for now...*

The House That Never Sleeps

It's quiet now, everyone has come and gone
Just shadows on darkened walls remain
The sky brightens as lightning hits the dawn
and winds blow trees against the panes

From upstairs comes a creepy sound
the mildewed curtains fall with grace
but now there's no one else around
except the ghosts who haunt this place

A happy family once walked these halls
a man, his child, and his wife
but bitter words were then recalled
like a serpent about to strike

A drink of death was on his lips
as heated words bounced around the room
In drunken hands the gun was slipped
sealing them in this house of gloom

He raised his arm, he pulled the trigger
and his wife fell down limp
upon the carpet soaked with liquor
He didn't know where his love had went

Look what he's done in his hate
his wife lay dead on the floor
and his son could not relate
when he opened up the door

He saw the pain in his son's eyes
as he gave witness to what was done
No way could he resort to lies
so once again, he shot the gun

Now two bodies, lay there together
blood stains growing on the floor
Both in arms bound to each other
maybe there should be one more

He takes the gun to his neck
one last thought before he shoots
All he loved in life now dead
in their wake he gives pursuit

Now all is quiet in the night
but sometimes you'll hear them weep
haunted tears of regret they cry
in the house that never sleeps

*One that I'm fond of*

Nature's Paintings
by J. Lau

Misty air fills the icy cold sky,
High above the sea of clouds.
This first canvas dominated with black,
Is barely visible to the naked eye.
Starring closely long enough,
A glimpse of gold slowly shows.
Growingly visible, this painting of golden sunrise,
Slowly fades away it's canvas,
And opens the painter's show...

Prepared with colour palettes and a fresh new canvas,
The painter's brush introduced the riches of hue.
Shades of yellow, orange and red was used,
To contrast against the clear blue sky.
This breathtaking landscape, tall and mighty,
Stretches beyond the canvas, as far as one can see.
This, he calls... "The Grand Canyon".
Painted with the richest of colour,
Is most definitely one of his masterpieces.

Moving along the gallery of paintings,
Another canvas glistens for the dying attention.
This simple piece of a freezing ice storm,
Paints a Winter Wonderland that sparkles and twinkles.
An ordinary tree transformed,
Into a glistening crystal tree.
Houses, cars and all visible objects frozen in a shell of ice,
Glittering like diamonds from golden streaks of sunlight.
Rarely was this seen,
Yet a true gem of a scene.

Another common painting sets the standard,
Definitely a favourite under the painter's brush.
All shades of colours from blue to gold,
Fills the entire canvas from day to night.
Purple and blue dazzle the skies,
While gold and amber reflect elegantly off the lake.
Minutes later as the sun sets down,
Darkness swallows it's canvas,
And this unique painting slowly dissipates.

These are just a few examples of his work,
With over a billion paintings every day,
This painter's show lasts only hours each day.
The painter close off with a challenge,
For any artist to compete against his works.
No one dares to compare,
The ever-changing landscapes he creates.

The painter also left a note,
Reminding all his viewers to stop and think.
To take the time to appreciate all his work.
Not bound only to what one can see,
But to all his creations... including you and me.

-Sunflower-

You know??
You are my brightest sun
And I am your smallest sunflower

Wherever you go
Whenever you go
I follow you as a sunflower

Even though you can't see me
Even though I am so small to find out
I am always standing there as a sunflower

Remember there is someone who is waiting for you
Remember that someone will always be here
Waiting for you ...as a sunflower

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!!

"Jesus, what kind of idiot is this Jordan guy, anyway?"

I'M THE KIND OF IDIOT THAT LIKES TO WASTE TIME DOING TRIVIAL THINGS FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT!

Unhealed Wounds.

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

Remembering the moments when you slapped my face,
I was shocked and afraid to run back to that place.
What I had called home was living in constant fear,
Cause I learned not to judge from what may not appear.

Purple hand marks covered my tanned back everyday,
I'd cry at night telling myself it would all be okay.
A tough knight in shining armor would come rescue me,
Releasing me from her prison, setting me free.

His hands were smothering me, unable to breathe,
Screaming and yelling, wishing that he would leave.
Choking my throat so tight that I couldn't escape,
Pleading to him please no, this is wrong, this is rape.

Breaking down on my knees with the glass in my hand,
Tears were soaring because no one could understand.
My body kept on shaking, it became so numb,
Realizing I'd finally reached the rock bottom.

There's unhealed wounds surrounding my shattered heart,
Poison running through my blood which you helped start.
Unwanted thoughts flowing through my innocent mind,
Of wanting to leave this horrible world that God designed.

{Not that good, but meh}

Hey I know it's impossible,
but I tried for perfection
cause I wanted acceptance
and you gave rejection.

I didn't hate you - I wanted to love you
and when each day did dawn - grass soaked with dew
once again I'd fake that smile
just so i could be, good enough for you.

Some call it pathetic,
Some say it's lame,
but day after day
i'll continue on in this childish game

I'll beg for you love,
and with the most forced of smiles - ill try all day long.
Till alone in my room, ill turn up the radio and cry until dawn
then one day ill realise I'll realize I got it all wrong.

I needn't have endured the put-downs and the pain
I didn't need to feel so worthless or meek
I didn't need to play your stupid little game
and let you walk all over me.

Cause I can never be all that you wanted of me!
I can't change the way I am - I can't be perfect!
The truth is your no better than me!
and a true friend would love me, JUST AS I AM

by Ally

Understand

I waited and waited for you to answer
Hearing different things from people along the way
I heard so many stories on what you would say
I just never heard the words from you
All I could think about,
Was did I just mess up
Did I think something could happen?
And in the end was I wrong
I sit here thinking I lost it all
Then I would see you
And just know what I felt was true
It’s just I didn’t know what you felt
You still acted normal
You teased and tickled
Even your sister thought it would be yes
Guess we were both wrong weren’t we
I want to be friends
I just wish in my heart
That I could take back time,
And stop the question that has had my heart pounding
Because now it’s broke
And I get the joy of hiding it from you
Because I don’t want you to hurt
Just because I have to

ALMOST THERE!!

A path through a haven
Of memories kept,
Flowers of honour
For souls that have left.

With innocent children,
The elderly come,
Floating with emotion
Visitors become one.

A belief in a power
With love they reflect,
Feeling inspired,
They pay their respect.

A widow gently plants
Herself to the ground
Slowly wiping tears
For the love that she found.

A beautiful place
Where serenity lives,
She whispers a thought
Of how hopeful she is.

"I will carry on smiling,
Though your face is gone,
And my memories fading,
But you carry on.

Death is approaching
Old age is so tough
But I know that you're watching
And that is enough.

I cannot feel sadness
When summer is gone,
Cause through this lack of sunshine,
The blossom lives on.

A beauty in pain,
A soft laugh through the wind
I can hear your whisper
I can hear you sing."

A path through a haven
Of memories kept,
Flowers of honour
For souls that have left.

Somber Walk (Ottava Rima)

Shadows tracing trees of bloody leaves
Engulfing the Bright moon in brilliant red
Dripping gold from bags of thieves
Watching as bound young witnesses bled
To the night goddess their cry decieves
Who still lives and who will be dead
Oracles crumbled, shimmered and shattered
Pieces of evidence soaring and scattered

Past massacres and abandoned dread
Past serene castles where flowers bloomed
But traces of vain courting still shred
Any other joyful emotion that loomed
To darkness it's blissful smile is fed
It's old memories and future consumed
Till nothing but seeds hid in the ground
Afraid of thirsty demons coming around

Here lies photos revealing inner pain
Gathered from walks near and afar
Every glimmer of hope has been slain
Destroyed by the Idea of who we are
Cast into fire of this forbidding ordain
Burning tints of emotions raw
Mercy shows no pity on these days
Tangled together in decaying dismay

KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!

JUST A LITTLE FARTHER!

Boys Don't Cry

Ten year old boy
burying his father forever
though he knows reality
after this day, he won't see him ever

his mother passed away
when he was just five
left with insane elder sister
the only reason to fight life

little boy never knew
the cruelty of society
but boys are not supposed to cry
no matter how hard life turns out to be

day by day he struggled
harder than yesterday
took life as it came
as there was no other way
his innocence was murdered everyday
but that little hope inside his heart
always incouraged him to give a try
and never did he forgot the fact
being a boy, he is not supposed to cry

after being slave for years
he finally reached teen
nobody has even ever imagined
what this boy in his life has seen

everynight before going to sleep
he used to stare at stars
fantasizing a little better future
& past which has been full of scars

and then from somewhere came a girl
one who just loved him for what he is
she never knew anything about his past
just entered his world like fairies

for the first time he felt what is love
for the first time with a smile he looked above

little boy never knew
love comes, love goes but curse stays forever
no matter how hard life turns out to be
but boys are not supposed to cry, never

this world is not meant for him
he knew it since he was five
but still struggled all the way through
for his sister who is no more alive

she has died yesterday
just couldn't take the way her brother is living in pain
she know she can't help him
or save him from the price he is paying for her being insane

now its his turn as he feels so alone
for the ones he need are all gone
but no matter how he decide to die
he knows being a boy, he just cant cry

Missing Person - True Story of a Search
by Sarah

I woke up one September morning
My baby never made it home
at that time the only thing I could do
Was call his friends on the phone

When I got ahold of his buddies
None of them had a clue
Where did Will go?
And what should we do?

As day fell into evening
I called to make that report
No ones ever been through
something of this sort

As Sunday evolved to Monday
The Media gathered around
"What do you think happened?"
to each station I made my round

Friends came in from back home
To Search and Poster this town
We'd scour the streets for hours
Long after the sun went down

Day in, Day out
11 Nights crept into day
Encouraging words
Is all anyone could say

But I knew when that last friend
Confirmed my biggest fear
That he was last seen on the bridge
Where to look became more clear

The boats hit the water
But nothing was found
So we combed the streets again
and postered another round

The posters started to age
And the news crews went away
But I still searched for my baby
Until they found him that day

The call then came in
"There has been a clue,
We need you to come down.
We may have found his shoe"

Little did I know
That it was just a clever excuse
To get me to the police station
And tell me the truth

They led me through halls,
Into a small, confined room
Stared at me calmly
Then gave me the news

They've found a body
And that it was Will
But I don't hear whats next
Cause times standing still

What news left their lips
I bet they couldnt see
They told me Will died
But it also killed me

^^^i give up. lol i cant ever win after that poem. im not saying anyone else is good because every1's are amazing but wow.

Wake up and start living

At night, we are all sleeping,
All Dreaming of a better life.
A poor chid lies under the stars
Wishing for a house.
A wealthier child has a house
But wishes for a mansion.
An even wealthier child has a mansion
But wishes for a kingdom.
And so on and so on,
We all keeping on wishing
For something better.
We all need to wake up
And start living our own lives,
And appreciate what we have got.

Just the Same

It was a normal day in Kindergarten
As we played in the beating sun
Being with my brand new friend
I had never had so much fun

We raised our hands for roll call
As the teacher yelled each name
I could tell his skin was darker
But our palms were just the same

Elementary School had begun
The tasks became more tough
But he always stood beside me
When things were getting rough

We walked the halls together
Not feeling and ounce of shame
I could tell his skin was darker
But our palms were just the same

Next it was time for Junior High
Where people started to change
Yet he never left my side when
All the others were acting strange

On stage in play I saw him clapping
As my first song met with acclaim
I could tell his skin was darker
But our palms were just the same

We had made it to High School
I was scared of everything inside
But I felt safe walking with him
As our feet were in perfect stride

He led me onto the dance floor
The night of the first home game
I could tell his skin was darker
But our palms were just the same

Graduation had finally arrived
After waiting out four long years
As we put on our cap and gown
My eyes welled up with tears

Walking towards the stage together
I heard cheers from the audience
And looking up at my best friend
I could see not one difference

*I don't know if this is my best... but I just wrote it and I really liked the way it came out.*
