Favorite Quote:
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one&rsquo;s definition of your life; define yourself.<br /> <br /> I prefer &#039;Iloveyou&#039; to &#039;I love you&#039; because there are no spaces for other people to come between us.

I've been in this place before
Tears streaming down
Heart beating yet sore
Whispers without a sound
This knife rests in place
I stop when I see your face
The ones I love before my eyes
You are just like him 
I reach out to touch you
And my soul cries
I'm with you 
I'm not alone
Yet inside I feel 
I'm on my own
The knife begins to cut
I'm walking in an endless rut
I can't stand anymore
The end is near
Funny how I want to die
Yet, Death is what I fear
