The truth is that at some point, everyone&#039;s going to hurt you. You just have to decide who&#039;s worth the pain.<br /> <br /> Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

A blank page
Of pristine white
Could be one of pure rage
Or could show us the light

It could be of someone’s dreams
One of equal rights
Or orders, it could stream
Of killing at first sight

It could be the story of a king
Throwing a ball
And him giving a ring
To that whose slipper would fall

It could be a book fit for the ages
In never forgotten single-spaced pages
Or the scribbles of crayon
From a child now gone

One day will be a new Shakespeare
But still,
We’re writing thoughts on paper with nothing to fear
In hopes that one day
People will hear.

&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;
