&quot;It is the journey not the destination, that in the final rest stop makes the story&quot;<br /> <br /> &#039;As you go on a journey, what you&#039;ll find along the way will surprise you&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t sit out or down in life and get up and run with it&quot;

"Crumbled up
I tore apart I couldn't keep myself together I never got back up
From the skies I lived in
I fell I was already dead
The cold they forced to my frail heart
Pleaded to her end
Her special life that seemed so beautiful
Was gone before the sun went down
Now blowing away in air so cold
A life so painful
Numbing over
The more the winter wind blows the more pieces are taken away

Crumbled up
I tore apart I couldn't keep myself together I never got back up
The light will not rise again
I am losing myself
The dead are never remembered
When they fall when they are broken leaves forgotten
I can't stitch myself back I've fallen"

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
