&ldquo;How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.&rdquo; <br /> ― Henry David Thoreau


Birth and death with profit
Don’t stop to take credit
The master achieves bliss
Walks among those we miss
Simple crimes we commit

&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;

I don't know what to say.........

&quot;If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.&quot;<br /> Henry David Thoreau<br /> <br /> &quot;I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once.&quot;<br /> John Green

This is a brillaint piece that deserves multiple applause. It is short, yet full of meaning and your choice of words are great! I think you have a talent that will go very far. My favorite part is: "simple crimes we commit." This whole poem was very relatable. despite its shortness, and I can tell that different people will gain different messages from this depending on perspective. I love that in poetry, how interpertation is not limited, and this poem conveys that perfectly. Well done; Please write more! :)

&ldquo;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us; it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.&rdquo;

I totally get it.
