Favorite Quote:
&quot;Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.&quot; <br /> &mdash;J.K. Rowling


My self worth is fragile.
Never will I feel that
I am truly wonderful.
But I think now
Hope is lost.
It would be wrong to claim that
All is well.
I feel that
My efforts are fruitless.
I am foolish to believe that
I stand a chance
Against my demons.
Now is the time to fight
My naivety.
I should rethink my choices and
If I desire a pessimistic life
Fate shall have it.
Should I reach for the stars?
I want something more.
But
That is my identity.
Zero.
