" 'I am happy' that's just the saddest lie..."

"I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence. Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it..."

I dare you...
A dare to be different,
A dare to free.
A dare to always strive,
A dare to live and see.
A dare to stand apart,
to listen to your heart.
A dare to fly up high,
to reach beyond the sky.
I dare you to dream,
to rip apart the seams.
I dare you to look inside.
I dare you to be true.
I dare you not to hide...
I dare you to be you.

By far my favorite! I enjoyed all of the other ones, but this one really knocked me out. The shear simplicity... yet complex meaning was amazing. This better make it into the magazine or I'm boycotting! x)
