From me: "The Point of writing isn't so others can understand what's going on in your mind. It's so you can understand what's going on inside yourself."

By me: "Who needs you when I have these yellow lines on this road?"

As I walked down a street,
I noticed a girl,
Her hair was blonde,
With the slightest curl,

She seemed to be lost,
Looking around,
She seemed to be scared,
With no hope of being found,

She twisted and twirled,
She turned and she spun,
She looked around, bewildered,
Looking for someone,

I walked down that street,
Up to that girl,
Whose hair was blonde,
With the slightest curl,

I picked her up,
Carried her home,
Adopted her,
And became her mom.
