Favorite Quote:
"A persons a person, no matter how small."


For some people,
the words stream from the pen
Fall from the sky
And land gracefully on the line.

A side effect of madness
Born with words in their mouth
Ideas in their brain
And a song in their hearts.

For some people
The words fall flat from the pen
They torture them out
And tie them askew to the page.

A side effect of madness
Born with glory in their eyes
Iron in their bones
And fire in their heart.

I really like this! "A side effect of madness" is cool, almost showing that all writers, to a certain extent, are mad.
