For years she collected quotes, stories, poems.

Trying to express herself with the words of others

for her voice was stolen

with a little white pill

They call her Ariel.

and she wonders if the sparks of creativity are worth walking through fire

All I want is everything

I can feel it.

The itch to go.

I am 32 flavors and then some

squint your eyes and look closer

I'm not between you and your ambition

I am a poster girl with no poster

I am thirty-two flavors and then someand

I'm beyond your peripheral vision

so you might want to turn your head

cause someday you're going to get hungry

and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will

and I have done well by their names

just the kindness I've lavished on strangers

is more than I can explain

still there's many who've turned out their porch lights

just so I would think they were not home

and hid in the dark of their windows

til I'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl

course too pretty is also your doom

cause everyone harbors a secret hatred

for the prettiest girl in the room

and god help you if you are a pheonix

and you dare to rise up from the ash

a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy

while you are just flying back

I'm not trying to give my life meaning

by demeaning you

and I would like to state for the record

I did everything that I could do

I'm not saying that I'm a saint

I just don't want to live that way

no, I will never be a saintbut I will always say

squint your eyes and look closer

I'm not between you and your ambition

I am a poster girl with no poster

I am thirty-two flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your peripheral vision

So you might want to turn your head

Cause someday you might find you're starving

and eating all of the words you said

Lovely little things

tonight I could write the saddest lines

When I love, I love deep. I am the worst, the clingy, needy type.
It's because I'm used to grasping.

Holding on
accepting what I can get.

Just once I want a love that is mine. One that I wont have to hold on to.
One that will cling and shimmer and drape around me like shawl......

Something to keep me warm

The worst thing in the world

I recently realized that all I want in life is to be a housewife. I want to make bread, can food, clean house, have kids and keep a home for my husband.

This is everything I was raised to scorn. My mother would be so horrified if she found out.
