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 (;


Every story has a side worth fighting for
Soon enough there will be a war

There is one face
At every battle front
The one who will be known
For the conflict you are fighting for
In the life or death zone

This is not your fight
The burden of the world
Can not be settled by your actions
It should not rest upon you
To carry the soldiers and the captain

The captains have to make a choice
To fight or work things out
It doesn't matter what you say
Because one way or another
The soldiers have to pay

Your name is insignificant
Your identities unsolved
To the captain your a pawn
They don't care when your hurt
Or notice you gone


The author's comments:
This poem is talking about a fights between friends. The soldiers are the friends who are not fighting, but trying to make peace. It's means: We should not have to fight other peoples battles. We should not put it on ourselves to fix them. They need to work it out themselves. Sometimes we get carried away in trying to solve something we can't fix in the first place. And we hurt ourselves in the process.
