Swords swinging in action. Blades hungry for blood. Smiles concealed. After a defeat. On the battlefield. Nigh what are we. To gain Victory. Faced the...

I used to smoke Marijuana, do drugs and alcohol. They didn’t get rid of my problems, but they alleviated my worries and sublimated the pains. I liked to stay alone just listening to music.
