Handwriting

"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess players do. I am not in any case attacking logic; I only say that this danger lies in logic, not in imagination."

My Life

Roses have plagued me since I was born,

we have much in common as they share my name,

every signature is a sharp reminder of their clinging hold,

they lend sweetly scented reminders of my early days,

where everything that could go wrong failed to,

but soon creeping tendrils wound their way around me,

causing my stumble into horrid and youthful years,

The beautifully fragranced flowers ushered a facade of happiness into center stage,

to mask the deep gouges thorns had carved into my family,

I began to see blush colored petals laced throughout my life and trusted no one,

finally after much strife I broke free from the grip of roses,

I saw for the first time all was not lost,

Still I feel as though those years will remain ingrained as the worst years of

My Life

Katie Metz

As my journey ends
all things fade

I return to reality

where normal is normal

music is a journey

that you control

your thoughts are the magic keys

to take you where you want to be

Free

Set them free

we are setting them free

The slaves are now free

they leave in happiness

The shackles are off

walk to the light

Set your soul free

you can rejoice

For you are free now

crying from the joy

Into the light

living in a free world
of your own
