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 (;


“Are you okay?”
They asked
Again
Do I really have to lie?
Can’t you look into my eyes,
And see I’m not?

“Whats wrong?”
They question
Again
Oh nothing much
I don’t want to bother you and such
But if you ask again I might just spill

“How’s it going?”
Ugh
That again
Could it be I should confide?
And tell what’s going on inside?
But no, they don’t really want to hear

“Can we help?”
Oh
Thats a first
But no, I am ok
Please, just go on with your day
It’s not like you care about me anyway

“Oh my god”
They had
Said
When they found her: broken, bent
When they found out what she meant
When she said “I’m fine”
