Tame a beast with aid of patience and time.

We glare while fighting, then tumble and fight.

My hands become weapons, and with a chime-

The winner is declared but who is right?

An unclear victor but one thing’s for sure-

A mentor, be it a book or human.

They train you and give to your wounds: a cure.

Then light the way and show you that you can.

Now tame the beasts and train them too, the crowd

Will erupt into cheers just for you. Then

Return to the ring and make your fans proud.

Become a champion- defeat their den.

Beast tamer- better known as musician;

Music like magic to a magician.

&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;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
