Dreams Quote by Eric Nickel
“You, Matter. You, are a person of aspiration, In a World with none, And so, You will suffer. You are a person of kindness, In a World that sees it, As Weakness. You will be hurt. You are a person of Intellect, In a World, Determined not to use it. You will be hated. You are a person of Courage, In a World owned by Fear, You will fight. You are a person of substance, Depth, In a World content to be shallow. You will rise. You are a person of Love, In a World that understands it not. You will cry. You are all of these things, So many more. That is not in question. The only question? What are you going to do with it?”
