"And not a day goes by where my heart doesn't find them." -Susanna Kaysen


You've told me that it's hard for you to find beauty in yourself, but it's a hard thing to understand for me. Our eyes have different abilities and strengths. I try my hardest not to filter reality to my own liking, but I cannot see behind your topaz eyes. The only thing I do know is that there is something between you and the real picture. You see yourself through a crooked eyeglass, causing your eyes to lie to your mind and, in turn, your heart. So, yes, you cannot see the beauty through layers of filters, but when a pair of eyes opens up to reality, your beauty is impossible to deny, for, it shines brighter than all of the stars in the clear August sky.

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

These words are beautiful...I love them!
