Quotes about yourself ..... :P

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.  I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory.  I was naïve.  I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.  It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with:  that I am nobody but myself.  ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal" 
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.  ~Judy Garland

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.  ~e.e. cummings

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.  ~Shirley MacLaine

Never be bullied into silence.  Never allow yourself to be made a victim.  Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.  ~Harvey Fierstein
  
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.  ~Eleanor Roosevelt

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.  ~Sally Field

A library memory

We went to the library one day, Kayla Hannah, and me. Once inside went to sit down to work on some stuff, I sat down next to Hannah and Kayla sat by herself. Ten minutes later, one of the bane's of my existence came. I hear my name being called as a stared daggers at him. Its Kayla, asking for help on the math homework. So I get up, to have him sit in my spot next to Hannah. She covers her nose slightly. I thought in my head, does he smell bad? After helping Kayla, I tell him to move, so he does and I sit back down in my spot. I was immediately engulfed in his overdose of his cologne, its licking at my skin, surrounding my senses.  It creeps down my throat, I gag and Hannah looks at me. She smiles knowing what I'm thinking and gags with me. A noise invades my ears, apparently its Kayla laughing.

(If you know who im talking about feel free to use his name in your comments. if not then you will eventually figure it out. And if you agree that he is a butt than you are a smart cookie.)

Personification poem

I am lost in the dark,
The darkness seemed to be everywhere,
The darkness was roaring,
And I was scared

The trees were now cackling,
I called and called,
But no one came,
And I was scared

The cunning wind is now thirsty,
I can smell the laughing of a skunk,
There is now tears dripping down my face,
And I was scared

I can nearly see the merciless door,
The hungry floor is creaking,
I hoped I was near the end,
And I was scared
