Things I've learnt this week.

Some people are not worth shit.

I've been writing a lot of poetry lately.And since the exams are rolling around that's going to become a constant. Yay? And oh. Watching movies. I can't believe I hadn't watched "The Graduate" this long.One word-Superfucktastic.

Something to think about v

Hello darkness, my old friend 
I've come to talk with you again 
Because a vision softly creeping
 Left its seeds while I was sleeping
 And the vision that was planted
 In my brain still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone  
Narrow streets of cobblestone 
'Neath the halo of a street lamp 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash  
Of a neon light that split the night  
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw 
Ten thousand people, maybe more  
People talking without speaking  
People hearing without listening  
People writing songs that voices 
Never share and no one dared 
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know 
Silence like a cancer grows  
Hear my words that I might teach you 
Take my arms that I might reach you" 
But my words, like silent raindrops fell 
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed  
To the neon god they made  
And the sign flashed out its warning 
In the words that it was forming  
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written  
On the subway walls and tenement halls 
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
