&quot;The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.&quot; <br /> &quot;Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.&quot;

Sometimes
you just realize
how lucky you are
to be alive

Sometimes
despite all the problems
and all the pain
you can revel in a dewdrop
or the sound of rain

Sometimes
nothing matters
but love

I wrote it without even thinking it would be a poem, then I reread it and realized that it rhymed and that it meant something to me.

Favorite Quote:
Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.
