if you're worth it

 Show me 
 if you're worth it  
 and I might try,  
 but just  
 for you. 

Young, Old and Stupid

Young enough to know I can, 

old enough to know I shouldn't, 

stupid enough to do it anyway

"Are you still mad at me?"

Him: "Are you still mad at me?" 
Her: "No." 
Him: "You sure?"

Her: "Hurt."

I wish I never met you.

your diagnosis

when you finally got your diagnosis

and it says you don't have much time left

you prepare your good bye speeches and letters

you leave them at their door, you tell it on the phone

then they say, we made a mistake, you  will still be alive

You look around filled with joy, yet it hits you

How will you say it to those you said 

good-bye, you're there

to stay?

I've lived, 

I've loved, 

I've lost,

“Understanding a situation doesn’t always make it easier.”

Aren't We All

"Meditate. Hang out with others who live good lives. Do good things. Be simple. Your life will change. I’m telling you from experience. Look around to people you admire. Notice the qualities you like, find them in your self, and bring them to the surface in your own unique way. This doesn’t happen by following someone around. It happens by recognizing that everything you like and need is already there inside you. This stuff works. My heroes in my life have become my good friends, advisor's  and colleagues. Isn’t that something!"

-Alanis Morissette

I am what I am Are you what you are or What?

Be with someone who

but

People think I’m so innocent…

People think I’m so innocent… 

if only they knew 

what really goes 

through my head.
