I'm the other girl
the undesirable one
the one no one truly considers
for her worth
I'm the other girl
the one who isn't perfect
the one who talks to her cat at night
instead of you
I'm the other girl
the one who french braids the grass in the yard
and writes your name in the sand
before the waves whisk it away
I'm the other girl
the one you will forget

&quot;I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe <br /> &quot;A wise girl kisses but doesn&#039;t love, listens but doesn&#039;t believe, and leaves before she is left.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe<br /> &quot;I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe <br /> &quot;Who said nights were for sleep?&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe <br /> &quot;Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe
