When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear. They asked me which one is different and does not belong; they taught me different was wrong.
I know my mind is made of matter but I need to know exactly what is the matter at it’s core? Because my heart is just a muscle and simply put, it’s sore.
Promiscuity does not scare me as long as she is savvy and self possessed when puberty comes to call. My aim is to simply raise my daughter to be secure in her self worth and capable of happiness all on her own.
They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed.
The world owes us nothing; we owe each other the world.
When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things...
I don’t need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
I’m pretty much a workaholic, but when you’re doing what you love it’s hard to think of a reason to stop.

You’ve got your whole life to do something, And that’s not very long. So why don’t you give me a call When you’re willing to fight For what you think is real, For what you think is right.
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.
Imagine you’re a girl, just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they’d prefer you were dirty and smiling.
I can jump ship and swim – that the ocean will hold me, that there’s got to be more than this boat I’m in.
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there’s always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.
Having more exposure is kind of a bittersweet thing for me, honestly, because it’s nice to have a little more job security in life now.
