Favorite Quote:
&quot;Fake is not real and real is not fake.&quot;<br /> Yet there are so many shades in between. Black is not white, white is not black, but between contains a rainbow of myriads of colors and shades. Like how a fake smile can be just as beautiful as a real one.&quot;

Yes, I wrote it
Yet without talent or hope
Worthless words and scraps of thought
Swirled between spun-glass dreams and age-old hopes
Gentle whispers of silk-smooth mist and treasure eternally sought
Yet talented, I am not.
Many things, yet not that,
From infinitely-flawed daughter, to class joke, to socially awkward to ignorant
But talented?
No, not really, could not be so
For 'twas written by me, as you know
I lack proper rhyming and personal flair
For you see, the talent's not there.
