Favorite Quote:
"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken"- Oscar Wilde


Concrete walls surround a haven
Too open to really be safe
Children at play
Unaware
Of the darkness lurking
Outside
Adults reading
Naively trying
To erase
The shadows in their minds
Yellow rushes by
All people busy with their lives
Concrete walls keep the evil out
Until the city breaks inside.

I wrote this after a class trip to Central Park, it truly encapsulates all of my thoughts and observations of the moment. New York is such an unique place, I feel very fortunate to live there.
