&quot;Don&#039;t judge me until you know me; you might like me better.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;No boy is worth crying over, and the one that is won&#039;t make you cry&quot; -Mom (she got it somewhere-doesn&#039;t remember)

Run, little horses,
Fly like the wind.
Through mountains and passes;
They won't catch you then.

Soar, little eagles,
Tear through the sky.
Past people and places;
You won't catch their eye.

Swim, little fishes,
Crash through the waves.
Under cities and ridges;
Go find your own place.
