War Studies

The intellectual part of me sits here and studies, while the rest of me tries to tame the animal inside. Concentration is the prize. This is a war neither of us will survive.

Bloodlust: An Arrow Fanfiction-Ch.2: Oliver's Dark Knight

CH.2-Oliver’s Dark Knight 4 Days Later…             Looking out of the windows of the main boardroom of Queen Consolidated, Oliver gazed down across the bustling evening streets of Starling City.   It had been days since he had last talked to Laurel.   The disaster of a dinner at the best French restaurant in town had done nothing to repair the fragile trust that lay between them since his return home from the island.   If anything it had made that trust thinner than ice on an early spring day.   To top it off he had failed to take down Deadshot again.   Though Diggle wouldn’t admit to it he was furious.   Oliver couldn’t miss the look of maddening agony and anger in his eyes when he had failed to take the shot to kill Lawton.   He just couldn’t do it though.   It would have meant taking the life of an innocent woman that Lawton was using as a human shield.  ...

Dear Hard Work

NOTE: the following does not belong to me. I did not write or create this. All credit goes to  ADAMwontLOSE and Ripped Freak. This was just so amazing I had to repost it for all of y'all to see. Check out the video on YouTube or on CutandJacked.com entitled "Dear Hard Work" to see why I love this so much. "Dear Hard Work, I used to hate you, When you called my name, I heard it but ran away from you, When I knew you were coming, I used to hide from you, When you influenced others to talk to me, I quickly made excuses to get away from you. Afraid of the pain because I didn’t want to get hurt Afraid to fail, so I didn’t even try Afraid of the shame that you might put me through and Afraid of your name because of what you have done to others. Who do you think you are? Making me so afraid of who you are? Reflection in the mirror, Shadow behind me, I take one step and still, Your ahead of me, Sweat on my face, tears in my eyes, I keep on going, ...
