When I say the word 'trolls' I don't mean just the people in public who chuck bricks at windows. Also talking about the ones who do it when you turn around. They have a pencil sharpened that says 'empathetic oath' - it becomes a shiv if you catch them throwing rocks. Turns out sticks and stones absolutely will hurt you, if they're lies about you told to everyone else and they are ignorant enough to believe it. That fades, along with your responsibilities. Liberation through betrayal.

I love the desert. The people who inhabit it, an old desert rat myself -- and the creatures that survive in such a challenging environment. Not so estranged from kids growing up in poverty on the streets of New York. All elements of creation have more in common than differences. Sorry Gleick, you are wrong.

up to my elbows remembering big fat wet delicious love. we were all over each other like something growing from the middle. we were each other's favorite thing to touch. suddenly she was gone, leaving only the tattoo of her love on my mind.

I'll be the first to admit my belief is shaky because I don't understand how someone who created you and supposedly loves could support you by throwing hardship after hardship at you.

Growing together grants success as well as happiness and respect.
A treasure box, which is left unopened by most.

The Most Difficult Thing I Guess I once Dread Mostly. Is growing old alone than light come to thought is really to not grow old with those people that make me feel alone.

"Patience is what I'm wearing, and the fabric's growing pretty thin."

Fill the youth of your life by growing on your belief to blossom on this earth
With aspiration in your breath.

growing slow as stubble from a child’s beard
change is neither seen nor heard
until it is unfolded on the road we travel,
and then seen only in the mirror.

Growing up--it could be beautiful yet stressful, but however, in the end we must be grateful.

Mind games are not about reeling in the catch, holding for the glory seen in pictures or the feel good feel from knowledge after throwing the fish back in, mind games are about not freeing a creature from your control when it has a hook through its face, the fear is having the weapon not using

We are apples growing on our parent's tree, planted by our grandparents from the apples of our great-grandparents.

Bio Born Men running in women's races; stolen glory by failed, individuals, lost in their own world. Mental Illness growing... unchecked.

As I am growing old, I’m realizing that the only religion my parents ever taught me was to “follow what made the heart happy and gave sleep of contentment at night”, the only Karma “to stand for the right and spread happiness”

If the Rose is wild,

I am throwing stuff away like the mad woman that I am, and my soul is on fire with joy about it.

If growing up means no more carnival rides, candy apples red, where carousels glide, no Merry Christmases or jingle bells, no more happy ending stories to tell, I want to never, no never grow up!

The seed of success is not always the one from a successful background only. Even the ones formed out of hard surfaces makes their breakthrough if they focus on growing greener without self pitying their past.
