Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions.<br /> - Will Smith.

Last year -

relaxed, loved, secure,

all the time in the world,

leader of my own life-

a life-saving angel.
This year -

anxious, unwanted, outcast,

time cut short,

trapped inside myself-

useless.
