Life.Of.Sin

   But he grew old-
   This knight so bold-
And o’er his heart a shadow
   Fell as he found
   No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

   And, as his strength
   Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
   “Shadow,” said he,
   “Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?”

   “Over the Mountains
   Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
   Ride, boldly ride,”
   The shade replied-
“If you seek for Eldorado!”

-Edgar Allen Poe

If you’ve ever seen the music video to “Dirty Little Secret” by the All-American Rejects you’ll know that they use postcards to reveal these one or two line secrets.  Here are mine:

I don’t want to believe in God, but I do.

I try so hard to pretend to hate my dad and then I cry myself to sleep.

After I watch X-Files I’m terrified aliens are watching me when I sleep.

I’m terrified of marriage, dating, and sex.

Sometimes I wish I got raped so I could write it better and I hate myself for it.
