I Lied
By KayRae GOLD
Arlington Hts, Illinois

I lied. He went farther then I said. Invaded a deeper privacy of my skin. His darkness seemed to have seeped its way inside of me. That’s why I shower in the dark.

Favorite Quote:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Favorite Quote:
"I've wished for the same thing I've hoped for since the beginning. I wish for a life so brave, so unpredictable, so full of unexpected joys and unforgettable love that no box could possibly contain all the memories. Such a life won't be perfect. It'll be something better. It'll be my own paradise." -Patti Smith
