Favorite Quote:
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." Albert Einstein


Her eyes filled with shame
Because once again I'm in the wrong
I have to walk around on eggshells
But I should of tiptoed
One broken shell, and
The world collapses
I'm no good, just
Greedy, Selfish, Disappointment.
Her words cut like the scissors that cut
At my skin.
She doesn't realise her words torture my soul
I never look right, say the right thing
Never. Done. Right
'I'm Sorry' I say, but why does it matter?
She will always be right
Her eyes always filled with shame.
