The hours of my survival wane as the sun bids adieu. It is futile and somewhat remorseful this melancholy mood. For it could have been lost in clamor or laughter or tears or heartache. Alas it was hidden in misconception. An unlikely source of deception...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/579850Why does doubt always get the upper hand?
