Monster
By cooperems SILVER
Moriarty, New Mexico

If you could see past the mask I wear you would run and hide in shame. Nevermore would you see the little girl thats me, instead you see the monster.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of slavery and chains? Forbid it almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!

&quot;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, &#039;Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?&#039; Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were all born to make manifest the glory of God that&#039;s within us - it&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> -Nelson Mandela
