YOUR MALICE, READER,
YOUR CONTEMPT FOR ME
ONLY MAKES ME
DESIRE TO BE APART FROM YOU.
YOU WHO ARE FIERCE - I KNOW YOU NOT.
AND I NEITHER CARE FOR YOUR IGNORANCE,
YOUR CRUELTY, OR YOUR OPINION.

NOW, READER - WOULD YOU HEAR
MORE OF MY ACCOUNT ?

THAT HEARTACHE IS MY PUNISHMENT
IN THIS LIFE.
-

THEN, IN THE STILLNESS OF THE NIGHT
IT TORMENTS ME -
WHY DO UNFEELING PEOPLE
PROSPER ?
-

THERE IS NO SIN SO GREAT
THAT A MAN MAY NOT - WITH TRUE CONTRITION,
ATONE.
BUT, WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD ALLOWS,
CRUEL MEN WILL NOT PERMIT.
-

THIS IS ABOUT A CHILD - A LITTLE SOUL.
