Favorite Quote:
To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.


I leave my reflection on the glass,
as I walk away.
My memories a distant smoke,
filled with ashes,
as they fog the air.
The sky crying
its broken tears.


The author's comments:
I have so many memories from my past. I'm sure, almost everyone does. You have to let go of the past, or it will do something to you. You don't have to forget your past, you have to let go. You have to forgive yourself. Make your skies turn to blue instead of gray. Turn your tears to roses. Inspiration goes to God and from listening to Evanescence Radio.
