"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

Eye for an eye,
Life for a life.
Do you think you can pay
The ultimate price?
In the end we're all gone,
Our bodies laying, cold as ice.
No one thinks about it,
right?
All of us,
Too full of life.
But in the end,
It's all done.
And we pay the ultimate price.

I could feel some anger and maybe some hurt? Besides, I like it and think you should keep writing :)
