I wage war
That's never been seen before
Is sanity worth fighting for?
I'm not really sure

Insanity?
A calamity?
I call it individuality!

Who is Society
To create this hypocrisy?!?
It seems like such a tragedy
To waste such ingenuity
To dull the creativity

I'll ask you three times if you want something and if you still say no the third time I won't ask again. If you resent me for that, then say what you want before it's too late

2. Staying to help clean after a party means about as much as being at the party, sometimes more

3. Treat animals well, if someone is cruel to animals it's a good bet they will be cruel to people

4. You can do things by yourself. Go out to eat, go to the park, take a drive. It's okay to decline company, if they are good company they will understand (but be careful to not shut them out)

5. Don't ever put anyone down for singing along to a song, even if their voice is terrible it is beautiful to hear them being free

6. If you are with people and want something, offer it to them as well

7. Make your room smell the way you want. Candle, incense, some sort of spray. People remember more from a scent than from a picture

8. Take care of your body, when it's happy your brain is happier. Exercise of any form helps improve your mood

9. Only humans keep track of time, spend a day without ever checking a clock, let your natural rhythm tell you when to eat or sleep or run or lay

10. Find one thing to enjoy each day. If the rest of the day goes poorly at least you can say you liked part of it

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Seven year old Meghan boasted after school
that she already knew who she was to marry --
His name was Jack
and she had cold, hard facts
to back up her theory
on why he would be her perfect husband
"He's not crazy and we both like legos"

Fair enough.

if only we never grew out of our old toys,
never stopped building and re-building what got torn down
brick by brick
maybe then I'd still be hiding in the closet
kissing eddie martin with the lights off

But neither of us like legos anymore
and I guess we're both slightly crazy

Meghan will learn soon enough
that after a while you will step on too many legos
and you will have had enough

I feel sick to my stomach
Reminding myself to breathe
Sick, twisted
Blood warm
I'm drowning in a bath of red
Melodies of chills run up and down my fragile spine
Pale flesh
I swear that I'm dying
My hands are anchors
Desperate to tear down anyone
Forcing them to drown with me
They stay away now
I miss them
Sick logic
I'm sick
My cries echoed through the hotel of white
"I want to tear myself apart"
Poison nails clawing desperately
Lethal injections
It worked
Ripped, torn, broken
Pieces of my self are lost, unattainable
I'm gone
