I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Fear and Pain. You need both to get stronger. You need both to push you through the battles of your life. But at the end of the battle. You must learn to get rid of the fear and pain, or be consumed. - Jack_the pumpkinking

&ldquo;The realities of the world affected me as visions, and as visions only, while the wild ideas of the land of dreams became, in turn,&mdash;not the material of my everyday existence&mdash;but in very deed that existence utterly and solely in itself.&rdquo; -Edgar A. Poe
