"She sprouted love like flowers, grew a garden in her mind, and even on the darkest days, from her smile the sun still shined."

"There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky. And you ask "what if I fall?" Oh my darling "what if you fly?""

"There is a fable in the forest Whispered by the branches, as they blow. A tale about the truth of leaving Things that no longer help you grow. For on the surface it looks simple, Like you only need lace your boots, But there is nothing quite as painful As untangling your roots. And proof is found in tree stumps Of the price some pay to flee, That they would cut their lives in half To cut the time before they're free. Yet from the little left behind Life has been known to grow again, For unless you take your roots A part of you will still remain."
