i&#039;d rather be hated for who i am than loved for who i&#039;m not- kurt cobain<br /> <br /> these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume -Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

Trace this poem with your finger,
And then you'll come upon a hand.
It doesn't matter if you hold it,
But will you be here when I stand?
Feel the thunder on your shoulders,
And see the rainbow grace this land.
It doesn't matter if you follow,
But will you be here when I stand?
Let the sunrise kiss your forehead,
And lead you to your destined plan.
Remember how I always promised,
to lift your life up when I stand.
