Favorite Quote:
"I've wished for the same thing I've hoped for since the beginning. I wish for a life so brave, so unpredictable, so full of unexpected joys and unforgettable love that no box could possibly contain all the memories. Such a life won't be perfect. It'll be something better. It'll be my own paradise." -Patti Smith

Who I am on the inside,
and who I am on the outside,
are two different voices.
When you meet me,
can you piece me to my work?
I disappoint myself,
with this unpoetic voice.
