“When you are ignored by the stars, you wonder if you might ever burn bright.”
“The madman bum and angel beat in time with the absolute heart of the poem butchered out of their own bodies good to eat a thousand years”

“I write because I'm free,
because I can,
because I will.
I write because I must,
because I'm breathing,
because I'd go crazy otherwise,
because it's who I am.
I write to make a statement,
to share my thoughts,
to discover myself,
to express my ideas.
But most of all, I write for future generations.
I write for love.
I write to inspire.
I write to encourage.
I write for me.”
