I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe

I am going to smile,
And not think about you.

I am going to smile,
And laugh with my girls.

I am going to smile,
And make things normal again.

I am going to smile,
And nobody’s going to be able to tell,
That it’s all fake.
But I know you can tell.

So I am going to smile,
And hope that you take me into your arms,
And say, “Its okay baby”
You don’t have to smile for me.
