Favorite Quote:
&quot;Deep in earth my love is lying<br /> And I must weep alone.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Edgar Allan Poe


You will not break your back at the crack of a whip,
not weaken at the pain of their hands,
You will not wait for his footsteps of return,
not depend on his charity,
You will not flee from the fears that chase you,












not cower in the height of others,
You will not collapse under the weight of life
not drown in the times that haunt you,
But, you will stand taller and straighter.
You will walk with the pride, might, and strength
of a king.
You will be a savior for the lost,
A carrier of the broken,
Hope for the damned,
Freedom for the chained,
You will be the light that shines in the darkness.
