Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.&rdquo; <br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

You'll know what
verbs
adjectives
and nouns are.
They'll teach you
to read and write.
But, darling.

Tell me when you leave that
building with the knowledge
of mending your
broken heart.
And how to cope when your best friend for seven years
walks away.
Tell me, sweetheart.
When do they teach
you how to feel when
the one you are in love with
breaks your hope for
anything ever again?
Will they teach you about where
to go when your
soul aches from
no winnings at all?

They won't.
They just can't.
