"I'm selfish impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."-Marilyn Monroe

Bless the soles that cannot see
Who cannot feel
Cry and weep
Bite your flesh and count your tails

I thought life was rose petals and jewels
But everything has
Consequences

Count to three
Make a wish
Six more years
Create more tears

Live and learn
Do not judge
Time will tell

Things do get better
Sometimes worse
But faith can carry a one hundred pound weight

So listen closely
Perhaps you’ll find what truth really lies
