All they wanted

was to be free

To not be haunted

by those between the trees

Those who would not accept

even during the darkest nights

When all they did was wept

 

Now we stand our ground

Firmly and full of pride

Not caring who's around

Because we have nothing to hide

And so we open our hands out wide,

Helping those, who need a guide

Stand your ground, and don't ever think anyone is better than you, or that you are better than them, because we're all just equal people trying to get through.

&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;

&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;
