Lemonade


When life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade . But what if those lemons are so sour, That you will never be able to make them sweet Even if you added an entire bag of sugar? What if those lemons just made lemonade horrible for everyone? What if, because of your lemonade, you just made the whole world despise lemonade? It would all be your fault, and you would have nothing to do about it. Would you just throw the lemonade away? Or keep trying? But if you try any longer, The whole world will be against you, And that horrible lemonade you made. So instead, I just pour the sour liquid down the drain, Never to be seen ever again...

JustLeaveMeAlone

She isn't just another girl... She is a very special girl... an extraordinary girl... a girl with depression, and bipolar disorder, and ADD, and insomnia. She's a girl who wants to please everyone, who wants to help the world, who has no time to please herself, who God is pushing to the limits, getting too close to the edge of defeat. She's a girl that when a friend is in need, she gives it to them, no matter how big or small. She's a girl that has the weight of the world on her shoulders, and if she steps away for a second, the world will come crashing down. She's a girl that just wants to grow up and be a writer, an astronaut, a model, a fashion designer, and live in New York. A girl that wants so badly to quit school, and a girl whose on the brink of life and death because of her mental stability. A girl that would be glad to switch lives with any one of her friends, and a girl that just needs help. This is her story, and story of a battle, a mental war, that isn't getting anything, except for more people hurt...
