Favorite Quote:
(this is my own quote) Who we are now reflects upon who we used to be, who we will be in the future depends on who we are now and what we choose to be.


A face cut from
A blank piece of paper,
And plastered on one
Of a many blank personalities.

A face cut from stone
Has cold, dead eyes.
A concrete king on his throne,
Dead inside.

A face cut from depression
A lonely piece of art,
Sad and repressed;
Tired and dark.

A blank face is worn
By our society
As people are torn and
Kneel on one knee
From poverty.


The author's comments:

We are constantly faking something, we pretend that the bad things don't exist, poverty is very real, it's something that more than half of the world lives with.
