"Why do people say the sky is the limit when theres foot prints on the moon" “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'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's not just in some of us; it'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.”


Their fuel, their ammunition, their energy, and their bullets
Are all aimed at me
They point at my heart, my head, my pride, my dignity
With their sights set and their aim fixed
The trigger is pulled
They fire all the words of hate!
These words that cannot be unheard.
They attack with their violence pushing, shoving, and throwing
They celebrate with the glares with the stares
“This is a dream”, I say to myself, “this is just a dream.”
I realize I live a nightmare!
With their giggles and laughter all around me
It won’t leave my head
Their snickers all surround me….
