Messed up
Mixed up
Crazy world
and they say
that's just the way the cookie crumbles
Be extraordinary
Or be extra-ordinary
What can you do,
to make all eyes turn to you?
Don't have to answer it right,
just look pretty and smile
for the camera.


The author's comments:
I wish I could've made this one longer. But it seems to wrap up the way I feel about the world's influence on me at times. It seems to me that it doesn't much matter how smart I am, or how wise I could be, just make sure I'm skinny and beautiful and its all good. But what I say is that we need to make a stand. I don't want to look in the mirror and hate myself another day because I don't look like friggin' Jessica Alba. Anyone else feel the same?
