I Am Your Demon<br /> I am the shadow that lurks in the night<br /> I am the darkness that brings terror, fright<br /> I am the demon that comes in your dreams<br /> I am the horror that thrives from your screams<br /> I am the monster that lurks in your mind<br /> Inside of your mirror I&#039;m not hard to find<br /> I am the nightmare inside of your soul<br /> I am the anger raging out of control<br /> I am your demon, your mirror, your shade<br /> You cannot control me, my presence shan&#039;t fade<br /> I am you nightmare, your shadow, your dream<br /> I am your voice, your vision, your scream<br /> I am the madness inside of your head<br /> I shall stay here inside you until you are dead<br /> Tim Vallie

Fairy tales do not teach children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.

Favorite Quote:
The Summer Day<br /> Who made the world?<br /> Who made the swan, and the black bear?<br /> Who made the grasshopper?<br /> This grasshopper, I mean-<br /> the one who has flung herself out of the grass,<br /> the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,<br /> who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-<br /> who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.<br /> Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.<br /> Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.<br /> I don&#039;t know exactly what a prayer is.<br /> I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down<br /> into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,<br /> how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,<br /> which is what I have been doing all day.<br /> Tell me, what else should I have done?<br /> Doesn&#039;t everything die at last, and too soon?<br /> Tell me, what is it you plan to do<br /> with your one wild and precious life?<br /> &mdash;Mary Oliver
