Favorite Quote:
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
- Robert Frost


I shouldn't complain
There are others who have it so much worse
But you know what? I'm human
I feel pain and it hurts
I can feel the blood rushing to my face
Let's hold a pity party and cry
But you know what? So what?
I can tear up sometimes
I can see myself outside myself
and I tell myself, "Shut your mouth."
But you know what? Grow up.
I want to be loud
And if you disregard my words
Or you think that I'm weak
You know what? You're the same
So listen when I speak
And everything is quiet now
I can hear all of the world
And you know what? Guess what,
I'm just an ordinary girl.

We're all entitled to pain. We all have the right to cry. Sometimes, people tend to forget that.
