When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, and keep the world to wonder how you did it.<br /> <br /> Women are like angels. You break our wings... we simply continue to fly... on broomsticks. We&#039;re flexible like that (;


One drop at a time
Turned into a
Stream,
And became a waterfall
That sunk all my
Dreams.

I cried you a river
But you’ll never
Know it,
Because of my smile
I won’t ever
Show it.

But I’m drowning in tears
Of course you can’t
See!
The pain is inside
And it’s eating at
Me.

Because I’m the one
Who has ‘always been
Strong’,
I can’t show mistakes
I have never done
Wrong.

And when I forget how to swim
Nobody can
Tell,
It’s because I’m ‘that strong’
I've hidden it so
Well.

Slowly I sink…
And accept my own
Fate
But when the others dive down
And it’s too little,
Too late…


The author's comments:
This is about people who have been strong for too long, and when they break. Also how when they need a hand, it's not always noticed. And by the time people realize they need help... they are already sinking.

Life isn&#039;t about waiting for the storm to pass; It&#039;s about learning to dance in the rain.

&quot;Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I&#039;m already better than them.&quot;

Such a great poem! Very easyy to connect with :)
