Respect is being all you can be,<br /> Even if it&#039;s &quot;just me&quot;.<br /> All you have to be is you,<br /> That&#039;s all you really have to do. - Me

We laugh about ridiculous things,
To hide how much it stings,
&amp; how bad it hurts,
To see everything get worse.

We slap on smiles,
&amp; create all these piles,
Of feelings on our hearts,
Ripping it into separate parts.

We hide behind responsibilities,
To avoid new opportunities,
So we can avoid new pain,
That we don't need to gain.

We need to quit,
Before we split,
Into two different people;
One good &amp; one evil.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
