I love because it’s uncontrollable
I lie because I’m afraid
I fight because it’s unavoidable
I hide because I’m ashamed

I regret because I’m truly sorry
I apologize because it’s a habit
I laugh because of happiness
I smirk when I do not have it

I move because I want to
Or I unwillingly drag along
I stand tall not because I’m strong
But because I cannot see any place to fall

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
