Sad. Inspiring. Heartbreaking. Controversial. These are some of my favorite poems and quotes, maybe a few folktales, lyrics, legends, (etc.)I write these in here either because of how they made me feel, or how it let my thoughts run wild and escape to their sacred lands, or just how they sound; they resonate with me, why not share what I've felt with you? Though I really must warn you, some will see it as crazy talk, many of you will be SHOOK, but a few will disagree, like I said, some of these are controversial. Most of these of course, are not mine, same with an art I use; (Only) The authors will be at the bottom, Anything I write will be signed Animal. Most of these are just short little quotes, I hope you enjoy what I gather here for you. Comment ideas or thoughts on these quotes and poems (etc.) please, it helps let me know what you guys like and what you wanna see more of!!!

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.
