A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Look into my eyes
But don't look to far
Do you see the broken dreams
The bruises and the scars

A man tortured by his past
Faith and hope departed
Hiding behind the memories
That left him broken-hearted

A man haunted by his very soul
That stained his tender heart
That stole away his happiness
And tore his life apart

A man living in a nightmare
Poisoned by lies
Is that what you see
When you look into my eyes

&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;
