Favorite Quote:
I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...
And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...
Because I was born to be the other woman.
Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.


Precariously wandering the streets
Oh how famous and dumb
People can become
With thoughts in their head of
How they think they have the ability
Of infallibility

Their doggedness
Has them screwed up in the head
Carelessly thinking
Everything they do is right
They do everything
Except
Hold on tight
To their sanity

Constantly lost
In their own fantasy land
Reiterating the
Sleepless nights
Over and over
Until they
Fall over

Battling their own
Inner demons
Now the end is
Imminent
Though it's not the end
That you think of
It's just the end
Of the beginning
At least that's what
They all hope
