who i am is not in the definition of ur beliefs<br /> i have every right to keep my head held high and regonize <br /> my beauty both mentally and physically..<br /> you dont define me<br /> you&#039;ve never been webster and you will never be god.<br /> i am a complex being and<br /> my true beauty lies in my state of mind.<br /> physically, i can be all that<br /> but i want ur eyes to see my mind,<br /> your ears to hear my thoughts<br /> and regonize my knowledge<br /> i am poetry...<br /> feel the words that slips off my lips<br /> the emotion that drips off my ink<br /> embrace the aura in every syllable that is written.<br /> Now watch me bring my emotions into your imagination.<br /> it is who i am, i am poetry.

&quot;It&#039;s a saying they have, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and his family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one, which is never known to anyone except to himself alone, hidden only God knows where.&quot;<br /> -James Clavell, &quot;Shogun&quot;

&quot;There&#039;s a point in your life when you realize, who matters, who always did, who never did, and who wont anymore so dont worry about the people in your past there&#039;s a reason they didn&#039;t make it in your future&quot;

If life for you<br /> Been less than kind<br /> Take a number<br /> Stand in line<br /> We&#039;ve all been sorry<br /> We&#039;ve all been hurt<br /> But it&#039;s how we survive<br /> That makes us who we are<br /> - Survive by Rise Against
