“The realities of the world affected me as visions, and as visions only, while the wild ideas of the land of dreams became, in turn,—not the material of my everyday existence—but in very deed that existence utterly and solely in itself.” -Edgar A. Poe

I will never back down.
I will never stop fighting.
I will never stop until I have the crown.
To failure, I am uninviting.

I can do anything.
I can reach the top.
I just need to spread my wings.
I will succeed, I won't stop.

I believe in solely me.
No one will ever bring me down.
All around, failure is what I see.
My smile will never distort my smile into a frown.

I am my own person.
I will succeed on my own.
I keep going, even when things worsen.
I make my own decisions, even though I'm not quite grown.

I am on my own once I turn 18.
All I've got is ambition for the future.
Things will sometimes turn to chaos, I will not flee.
I am a soulful, destined creature.

I am aspiring towards prospering.
Nothing less.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
