I'll tell you a secret: We don't read and write poetry because it's pretty. We read and write poetry because we belong to the human race; and the human race is filled with passion.

Control
We only control what we don't trust. We can either control ourselves or love ourselves, but we can't do both. Love is the opposite of control. Love demands trust. I love myself now.
