“The Dark Cloud Is the group of people who believe that cruelty is A-OK but it’s not cool if you’re sappy Is the fact that some people believe women warriors don’t deserve to be happy Is the sound of the birds that could not fly and never grew Is the pain you experience when you know that someone doesn’t love you”
