"Some see a pen, I see a harpoon."- By: twenty one pilots the song is called "Ode To Sleep".
To me it means that when it comes to writing, there are so many possibilities. It can be your weapon of passion or defense. It can mean so many things! What do YOU think this quote means?

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

My favorite line in a poem is by Alexander Pushkin: ...Day follows day, the rolling stream of hours crumbles the banks of being, and you and I had thought to live but behold we die.cooltodd wrote:What's your favorite line or lyric from any song or poem?

"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead,
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes, are all yours to make,
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.
The greatest adventure is there if you're bold,
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.
To measure the meaning will make you delay,
It's time you stop thinkin' and wastin' the day.
The man who's a dreamer, who never takes leave,
Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe,
Will never know passion, will never know pain,
Who sits by the window will one day see rain.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead,
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes, are all yours to make,
The mold of your life is in your hands to break. "

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a sh-t
That your daughters are porno stars
and Your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?
You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

"And if it seems like an accident
A collage of senselessness
You weren't looking hard enough..."
But there are so many that resonate with me! Really depends on my mood.

There are so many lyrics I like, I'll be back when I think of more of my favouritesIf all words are cameras,
Hold still.
Shutters slide to unveil
Fingerprints of angels
And a language made of film.

Secrets too sweet to keep
Another promise that I had to eat
Mainly because its so fun to sing, rather than any poetic qualities
