Favorite Quote:
“Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.<br /> <br /> "It makes me feel as if something had hit me," Sara had told Ermengarde once in confidence. "And as if I want to hit back. I have to remember things quickly to keep from saying something ill-tempered.”<br /> ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess


some are small,

living without a word


they

are so very very tiny

so very very small

for no reason at all


they

are the ones

the ones who matter

but are never seen


the ones who tell the truth,

but are never heard.


Others are BIG their whole lives,

Not Caring what they say

Not Caring what they do


They, 

Make Sure they are Known

Make Sure they are Heard


BUT


They,

Lie to the world under the sky

For No Reason why.


If.


IF,

You ask them why


They will lie yet again,

To the world under the sky.


For the ones who are seen but not heard,

Do not matter in their wretched eyes.
