Sparrow

by L.J. Shen

“Though she be but little, she be fierce.”

The sparrow is associated with freedom. At one time, sailors got a tattoo of a sparrow for every five thousand nautical miles they traveled. Sparrows were believed to bring good luck. Sometimes the sailor got his sparrow tattoo even before leaving the docks, hoping it would act as a talisman and help bring him safely home again.

Nonetheless, to me, it was as pointless as Henry Cavill with a shirt on.

Fear is a prison, and in prison you played by different rules to survive.

Guilt was a thief. It would steal your mind, mess with your priorities and would eventually steer you from your original plan.

“Good, because opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s got one, and they usually stink.”

You can hate me and still love how I make you feel.”
