My mind is like a little house,
My peers break into.
They rearrange my furniture,
And the cabinets rifle through.
They throw things out,
They put things it,
And erase the writing on the wall,
And by the time that they walk out,
it's not my mind at all.

Let me know what you think! This isn't my first draft, but I might continue tweaking it. :)

Impossible is not a word, just a reason not to try.~Kutless<br /> <br /> I&#039;m going to smile and make you think I&#039;m happy, I&#039;m going to laugh, so you don&#039;t see me cry, I&#039;m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me - I&#039;m going to smile.~Anonymous
