Favorite Quote:
All men dream,but not equally.Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds,wake in the day to find that it was vanity:but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,for they may act on their dreams with open eyes,to make them possible"


Brainstorm:
A word that means “think of ideas”
Solutions
Not ideas that corrupt the mind
It wasn’t my idea to lie, my idea to cry

But I did
Because I thought that I’d look cool
But I didn’t
I was just a tool in your shed of fools

You shaped the game called “My Life”
I didn’t know what to strive for,
I did what you said
I lay awake in bed asking myself

“Is it worth it?”

In the end I was the one that got in trouble
I was your double, your toy of destruction
You were destroying me
I was the weird kid in the corner, a hair out of place

They said,”Words can’t hurt like sticks and stones can.”

But they were wrong
Words can drive deep into your soul
Until all you know are those lies,
You don’t know the truth anymore

You ask yourself,”Why go on?
What’s the point?
The world hates me so I should hate it back,
right?”

Wrong.
A Mother’s love is stronger than any hate
Run to her, she’ll shut the gate effectively blocking off their words
“They can’t hurt you anymore.”

Brainstorm:
A word that means “think of ideas”
It means try,
Don’t believe their lies
Come up with ways to build up your wall of truth

Things true to you
Not only that the sky is blue
But that you are beautiful
You have eyes that glow; How? I’ll never know
But they’re great
Lets just hope that gate stays closed
For how long? No one knows but this time,
You’ll be ready
Your armor thick skin, you shine from within

There they come, you don’t know what to do, you’re confused
Then you feel a familiar hand on your shoulder
One that says,”You’ll make it”
And this time you know you will

Because you are not the weird kid the the corner
Nor a hair out of place
You are a person that can shine up any face that needs a little polishing
Its your nature, it’s what you do
And you’ll keep shining
Until every face glows, and everyone knows
You’ve made it
Besides everyone that told you to quit, they were wrong
