Why is the grass greener on the other side?
Afraid to place my foot there
for i fear their dark words against me.
This fence i build takes too much strength.
But how i long for the eternal barrier.
It grips my soul to see their light.
It is now i realize that their grass is fake,
my dirt is real.
That is why they don't mix.
That side I shall fear no more,
With time my garden will grow,
real and beautiful.

Dreaming is the best thing you can do.

All the Stephanies I know bright and bubbly on the outside; Dark and brooding on the inside.

You are now one of them
