“We have eyes and we have nervesesWe have tails we have teethYou'll all get what you deservesesWhen we rise from underneath.”

“We have teeth and we have tailsWe have tails we have eyesWe were here before you fellWe will be here when you rise.”

“We can get excited by thinking about what all we have or can have, OR we can get discouraged by thinking about what all we don't have.”

“We all have an edge. We all are floating our psyche on top with a great ocean underneath.”

“So here is why I write what I do: We all have futures. We all have pasts. We all have stories. And we all, every single one of us, no matter who we are and no matter what’s been taken from us or what poison we’ve internalized or how hard we’ve had to work to expel it –– we all get to dream.”

“We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.”
