&ldquo;You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Here&#039;s what I think,&quot; I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. &quot;I think maybe everybody falls,&quot; I say. &quot;I think maybe we all do. And I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the asking.&quot; <br /> I pull on her arms gently to make sure she&#039;s listening.<br /> &quot;I think the asking is whether we get back up again.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

This is why I love poetry. You can say something so powerful in less than 20 words! This is an amazing poem, but then again, all of your poems are amazing, so...

Ahhh, I feel the same. I'm rather surprised this hasn't gotten in the magazine, to be honest. It's so compelling and smart.

Wow. That was beautiful. It's really the shortness that makes it so powerful. It's so effortlessly witty and it really makes you think. Brilliant!
