Sometimes I wonder
if my eyelashes were butterfly wings
if my tears would fly away
leaving me free of my sorrows
or would they give away my dreams
to the sky to never again be seen
leaving me empty and cold
sometimes I wonder

wrote it in math class... it was both an unproductive and productive day... just depends on how you look at it.

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, and keep the world to wonder how you did it.

Women are like angels. You break our wings... we simply continue to fly... on broomsticks. We're flexible like that (;
