She sat there, shoulders hunched over, shaking uncontrollably, crying into her hands. She had no shoulder to cry on, no arms to fall into, no one to tell her everything would be okay. The only person who had been there for her in the past just left her, with no plausible explanation as to why. She had been left to drown in her own tears of misery, with the question "why?" running through her head over and over again.

Probability. It ruins lives. Those men who take their life savings to Las Vegas? They spend it on probability. It is probable that they may win back twice that savings in cash. It is also probable that he will lose every penny, and come back to his wife, who will soon become his ex-wife. Probability, it ruins lives.
I'm on a mission. It is of utmost importance. I am trying to save the world through a press of a button. Click! Ten grains of rice is added. Click! My vocabulary has just become a little bit more broad. Click! A child is saved from starvation. Click! I'm saving the world through freerice.com =]
Jen shuts out the outside world with Eminem's lyrics. Charlie's sorrows are drowned in cheap liquor. Marian's pain spills out with every cut.

Fences are only a small obstacle on my mission. I have warded off robbers and thieves, bears and mountain lions, electric cells and laser security. Fences are the smallest of my worries, or so I thought. I had no clue what was on the other side.
None of it matters. The fact that I am hurting the people I love, that I am hurting myself in the process- it doesn't matter. Who cares if I just killed a person or two to get what I want? It's illegal, so what? None of it matters. Heroine is all that matters.
Love. It drive you insane. It can get inside your brain. And cause pain.
Love. It is not fun. It makes you so mad, you want to run. And become a nun.

Under the same moon, so many miles away.
Me with your shirt, trying to cease the hurt.
