It's like those eerie stories nurses tell,Of how some actor on a stage played Death,With pasteboard crown, sham orb and tinselled dart,And called himself the monarch of the world;Then, going in the tire-room afterward,Because the play was done, to shift himself,Got touched upon the sleeve familiarly,The moment he had shut the closet door,By Death himself. Thus God might touch a PopeAt unawares, ask what his baubles mean,And whose part he presumed to play just now.Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!

There will be a time when you get this feeling like no other. It won't come often and when it does it'll start as a small spark. Don't let anyone interfere with this spark. This spark will grow into a fire that can either light your way or burn you. Whatever this feeling is, it's right. It's genuine. It's true. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
