I'm Always Wrong
By PrincessLena ELITE
Orlando, Florida

I've always known this, from the start - I had this feeling you'd break my heart. But some part of you made me not care - the same part that told me we'd make a g...

&ldquo;To me, &ldquo;FEARLESS&rdquo; is not the absence of fear. It&rsquo;s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you&rsquo;ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again&hellip; even though every time you&rsquo;ve tried before, you&rsquo;ve lost. It&rsquo;s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can&rsquo;t breathe without them. I think it&rsquo;s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he&rsquo;s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they&rsquo;ll never stop doing, I think it&rsquo;s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It&rsquo;s FEARLESS to say &ldquo;you&rsquo;re NOT sorry&rdquo;, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright&hellip;That&rsquo;sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That&rsquo;s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.&rdquo; <br /> ― Taylor Swift

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
