Quotes & Poems I Like

"I want to change. Why am I selfish? Why do I hurt you? When all the time I know its worng? And when you cast your eyes upon me, I see my weakness while your are strong. I want to change, I want to love you. Why pretend that every thing's alright? I can't ignore this storm inside me, I can't ignore the guilt that closes out the light. Somewhere inside me, a sense of sorrow fights the pride that rules my hand, I want to see your eyes forgive me, I want our heart to unite and understand." - Anonymous
“You can live the impossible dream, or live an excuse. It’s all up to you.” - anonymous
“While we may surpass our goals, we can never surpass our dreams. The extent to which we can achieve is therefore only limited by the breadth of our vision and our capacity to follow through.”
