They say in this life only the strong survive. That if it doesnt kill you it can only make you stronger. They say for everything that happens in our lives theres a reason for it. A place where it belongs. But if you ask me, nothing cuts deeper than the knife of betrayal and I dont know where that belongs.

After all, how would we ever know what lies inside until someone or something brings it out. Through pleasure or pain. Choose your poison.
