If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person,
It there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world
-Chinese Proverb

My mind is not my own you see,
It belongs to many more than me,
My body is not my own,
It houses others as a home,
My life is not my own you see,
I wonder why this has to be,
What did I do to make this so,
That is what I would like to know,
I cannot be complete and whole,
You broke my heart and twisted my soul,
See you fooled my mind oh what a thrill,
I did not know these things were real,
If only you could do one nice thing,
Please leave my mind and my dreams,
Why did you not love me as you said,
Now I only wish you dead!

How many alters does it take to change a lightbulb?
As many as will: one to change the bulb, one to change it back, three to argue over whether they want it light or dark, one to throw the
lightbulb against the wall to hear it crash, one to clean up the mess, four to go shopping for new bulbs and come home with stockings, licorce
and masking tape, one who insists it "is" the lightbulb and doesn't understand why everyone always wants it to change and can't it just be itself etc....

Should be seen not hurt
Sit there pretty as can be,
Sit there nice so all can see,
Just a trophy on the wall,
Becareful or you might fall.
Sit very quiet, make not a sound,
Sit very still don't even look around,
Just a trophy on the sill,
Hush you must sit very still
Here I sit, quiet as can be,
Praying you'll look inside for Me,
Hush that crying deep inside,
Holding the anger I must hide.
Why can't I die?
