"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will be unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.'' -- C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves

I am a poet. I am silent. I am an enigma. I am in despair. I am shy. I am tall.
I am nameless. I am ageless. I am locationless. I am religionless. If those things matter, you shouldn't be here.
I am from the earth and for the earth.
I have a job. What do I do? It doesn't matter.
I am introverted. I am intuitive. I am feeling. I am selfless. I am perceiving.
I know about matters of consequence.
I am not a grown-up
I am an original. I am not ordinary. I am too generous.
I am hurting in places your eyes can't penetrate
I am furthur than i thought i'd be. I am far from where I want to be
I am dreaming longer than i should be
I am wasting precious time. tick tick tick
I am an optimistic pessimist
I am a listener. Hear me listen
I am everything you think i'm not
I am a freak in my spare time.
I am a lover of words put to music
I am a lover of words not put to music
I am a sponge thrown into a sea of hope.
I am a sunset, waiting for her to sail past my light..and bask in me.
I am.
