    A winters day
    In a deep and dark december;
    I am alone,
    Gazing from my window to the streets below
    On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.
    Ive built walls,
    A fortress deep and mighty,
    That none may penetrate.
    I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
    Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    Dont talk of love,
    But Ive heard the words before;
    Its sleeping in my memory.
    I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
    If I never loved I never would have cried.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    I have my books
    And my poetry to protect me;
    I am shielded in my armor,
    Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
    I touch no one and no one touches me.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    And a rock feels no pain;
    And an island never cries.
    jk lol

    I believe in myself. I picture my future self, in several possible outcomes. Sometimes I'm poor, sometimes I'm rich, etc. The various scenarios in which I picture myself determine the motivation. I could really say that my mom is my inspiration. I aspire to be EXACTLY OPPOSITE of her. I work hard, go to school, earn my own money, wish to marry for love not money, to accept everyone from every aspect of culture, to lose weight lololol, etc. I picture my future self as her and that motivates me to get off my ass and do stuff.

    I also see the people around me. I really want to do something to help them. You know what? My country. My country is my biggest inspiration as well. I want sooooo much to give back for everything they have given me. I wish to serve, though I have been denied once, I plan on trying again after I get my bachelors. The least I can do now is work for the Air Force, helping the engineers make sure planes don't blow up in mid-air lol. (scary thought, I know >_>) When I see the American flag I just get so filled with pride. Why wouldn't anyone feel the same way? Every time I see a veteran, I thank them full-heartedly. They understand how I feel. They feel it too. Why do you think I get so pissed off when I see a ragged flag or a flag left out in the rain? Also, a flag touching the ground makes me scream. The people around me need me. They need me to preserve our freedom. Their children, their children's children need me. This knowledge gives me the strength to wake up in the morning, to aspire to be exactly opposite my mother, to go to work, to help in every little way I can. And YES! It does make a difference...

    I suppose there's many people who inspire me, but Stephen Fry has to be one .

    I feel like saying Michael Jackson. Other than that, I can really tell or explain.
    Maybe my brother.

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
