Endless sea

Stuck in me

Broken on the bottom

Like a refugee."

Our nightmares of Walls falling

You came back and gave your help

But you're lying on the ground

We turn back the tide of hell

And win back our fantasy

We fight for our right to be a free people again

And now we can see people shouting everywhere

So much blood shed I can't bear

I can not erase the words you said to me

But now you're dead

You will stand the endless rain

Wish I could have helped you more

When you died only the day before."

Quotes, Quotes, Quotes! /// The Quote Quota, Part 1

An idea I had for a blog post/series way before I even began The Steadfast Post was one of various quotes. I would just share random quotes that I like--whether they were from books, movies/TV shows, video games, or even YouTube videos--and stick a bunch of them in one post. So that's what I'm doing today!

(Because I had no other idea, so please bear with me.)

I'm not sure how long this post will be. I guess it all depends on how many quotes I can remember or find. Let's begin!
