Every Morning At 7:22, or 21 - I Have Used My "Head", And Now I Am A Millionaire - I Own A House, I Own A Car - I Have 10 Children, A Husband, A Wife - I Have A Life , Nothing Can Stop Me, I Am Powerful, I Am Unstoppable!
Every man loves a woman who gives him a hard time, the worst thing the best thing! The person who plays hard to get as if the person was a child waiting to feel a sense of wonder! I wished I knew what it felt like to have all the men wanting me! All the men saying you are the reason, I have woken up in the morning!? The only reason I live, The reason I will wake up, as if that made sense! All the men that said if I, only for a minute cared enough about myself I would not have a had a breakdown! A breakdown in society, a breakdown in the way every person assumes they are enough! Just a person who had no other choice but to have 40 breakdowns !

Sad Eyes (Robert John "song")
I've been trying to understand a few things! Honestly, I've been trying to understand a few things! I want to understand a few things! I - don't know where I will be, tomorrow - but I would like to understand a few things! I don't want money, I just want to understand a few things!

Tired
I am writing about being tired. Not the poetic kind. Actual tired. The kind that sits in my shoulders at 2:17pm. ~~~ Not the poetic kind.
