I had to say the words
They wouldn't stop but coming
Its not my fault they sprang to life
And everything came doubting
The words were parts of me
Of what I had to tell you
Its crazy how your mind comes out
And everything comes downing
The words, of what I had to say
That maybe just got, ruined
Its not my fault
They're just these words
Alive
And yes, they're coming

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Dear God,&quot; she prayed, &quot;let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.&quot; - Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)
