"Hope is a thing with feathers," It shines light in an otherwise dark
world.
Hope lifts spirits and carries one through hard times.
Hope raises me up only to drop me down.
The soft feathers of hope become the hard scales of Loki, sent by the
cruel striker himself.
Hope is the pin monkey of fate, setting us up only to be knocked down.
Hope is only an allusion that temporally alleviates disparity while
secretly plotting against happiness.
Hope is fleeting and generally leads to disappointment not joy.
Hope is greedy and cannibalistic. Feeding off other hope it grows fast and
strong.
Hope is self-sustaining. You cannot willingly rid yourself of it.
Hope is a disease, my disease.

I hate preps. Today I hate preps because they stole my style. I work hard at not fitting into the fashion world and now those bastard fashion following clones are stealing my image. I believe that style is a personal thing and that fashion is for the teeming millions. I have style, preps have fashion. Punks have style, trendy people have fashion. People with style don't have to worry about going out and looking like anyone else. I work hard at keeping my style different and now suddenly my style is fashion. I saw a shirt in American Eagle today for fifty dollars that looks exactly like one I bought at Salvation Army for fifty cents. I see forty dollar brand new faded tee-shirts with chipped prints on them! I buy shirts like that for a quarter! AND I WAS WEARING THEM FIRST! Damn you Abercrombie! You've soiled my image by bastardizing the original look that I've strived to obtain. Now when this years fashion trend is over I'll look like I'm behind the times when apparently I was actually ahead of them. Even wearing wrinkled cloths is trendy now. Ask any of my past girlfriends and I'm sure they'll tell you that I seldom fold my cloths let alone iron them. All this time I was setting the trends, and I thought I was just being lazy.
