Spring 2011


I am a fighter, a survivor, a protector, I strive to protect my peace of mind,


Fight to keep everything cool, calm and collected. Try to break me to pieces,


The only result will be a stronger, reinforced me.


I will build myself up with the debris of your weakened aura. I will use your own words against you without taking action, I will ignore what you have said and let it eat you alive.


It is not in hate that I take in your evil words, rather that rejecting them. I use them to make myself better, to learn from your silly mistakes.


Teach myself that hate is for those who are missing out on the joys of life, For people who envy the miraculous fun of their victims. And with my final words let it be known,


That trying to put peace in someone else's life is like trying to take over the world, It can be done, but you have to take it one step at a time… …Starting with yourself.
