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 their dream with open eyes to make it possible.<br /> T.E. Lawrence

My eyes see more than just my surroundings It sees what most people dont The hardships and the poverty arent attractive Yet the feeling is what I want. I want to know how it feels to have to beg to survive I want to understand the hurt when ppl walk by and roll their eyes My eyes see you staring at me the emotion that flickers the tears that begins to drop the unknown whispers My eyes see Myself
