Favorite Quote:
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

The world continues to spin,
As I continue to sin,
The places I’m going to see,
Places where I shouldn’t even be.

The world continues to spin,
It doesn’t know where I’ve been,
Or where I’m going to go,
That, it doesn’t need to know.

The world continues to spin,
I feel like a washed up has been,
But isn’t that what we all are,
For none of us are all that far.

The world continues to spin,
As I try to wash down the gin,
But it’s all the same for death,
It always ends in one last breath.

I don't even think when I write poems. It's just whatever comes to my head or rhymes.
