I won't bend.
I won't break.
Don't you say I'm a mistake.
I know it's a lie.
I just want to know why.
Why do you never have time?
Why am I always last in line?
Why aren't I enough?
Why do I always have to be tough?
Don't you know you're the reason I am who I am?
Stop screwing around!
Step up!
For once be a man!
Be the person i need you to be,
and stop blaming all that goes wrong on me.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.
