I seem just another girl
wearing worn out jeans,
having big dreams,
living in my own world.

I know I ain’t so popular,
I don’t look picture perfect,
I’m nowhere near best,
N sometimes, I seem queer.

May be I think too much,
May be I’m not always right,
Yes, I’m closed, not forthright
but at least, I don’t judge.

You can shun me away
Try to change me to your liking,
And call me good-4-nothing,
But I won’t change anyway.

Being me, myself n I, I’m happy,
Yeah, I don’t mind being on my own,
B’cuz at least I’m not a clone.
It’s a shame that you can’t see,
That I’m one in a million, truly.

Heaven is not that place where you go when you die... it's that time in your life when you actually feel ALIVE!!!

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me...

Good for you!  If you are no good to yourself, you certainly can't be good to anyone else.  Hence I guess the saying, "To Thine Own Self Be True."


Merry Christmas

He he strikes me funny how all the youngsters these days abbreviate some words.

However, this is really a priceless look at yourself and a great conclusion.
Self esteem can take you sucessfully down many roads.

Good stuff!
