I'm a piece of work, I'm iron and lace
I'm shy, I'm right up in your face
I'm all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass.
I'm a sweetheart, genius, reckless jerk.
Lord, have mercy, I'm a piece of work.
Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I'd remember him
Or her In the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death-sheet white
Made in the image of a lion shocked lam
I am who the hell I am
Even better, bad to worse
Down to the letter, I'm a piece of work
I'm an angels fiend
Scared, brave, shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistakes
I'm zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty, What a piece of work
I'm a dreadful sight, I just don't care
Spent all morning pulling out my hair
Woke at dawn with a crazy spin
I was half the day trying to glue back in
Mother, bloody Mary, please
Wipe that smile right off your face
I'm the CEO of the mailroom clerks
Lord have mercy, I'm a piece of work.
I'm a piece of work
I'm a love sick girl cloth cap
caviar and corduroy all over the map
Just lost in space
With a filthy mind
and a choirboy's face
Heels up, head down, straight on through
Watch out man, I'm a get to you
I'm a gladiator with a mind to hurt
I'm a see you later
I'm a piece of work.

I have been long overdue for change.
My personal motto: onward and upward, always.
Ambitious? hell yes, in terms of personal growth as well as my career. At the expense of others? never. My abilities speak for themselves. I'm a multi-tasker, efficient to a fault, practically OCD and definitely anal-retentive. I pride myself on being multi-faceted. I could be considered a human contradiction, but that would be limiting myself. I can be anything and everything I want to be, as long as my body is willing. I'm tired of trying to fit into the molds, so I broke them. I'm not all all that smart, I'm not all that funny, I'm not all that skinny, I'm not all that interesting, and I'm not all that organized. Get over it, because I have. I have an equally enjoyable time at a baseball game and at the opera. You can find me at a bar or in the basement of what is probably a smoky lounge, singing along to dueling pianos. Or I can be found picking up change at local hardcore shows. Or maybe at the roller rink. A chameleon of sorts, don't ask me what I like because the answer will be different everyday. I write poetry, I knit and crochet anything I can figure out how to make, I'm my own classroom photographer. I'm in the process of becoming a rollergirl. Politics and Environmental Issues fascinate me. I study human psychology, sociology and cultural anthropology everyday. I'm loud, obnoxious, cynical, sarcastic, proud, abrasive, arrogant, stubborn, egoistical and angry. I also happen to be loving, tender, scared, weak, kind, loyal, empathetic and emotional. Someone once described me as a complicated computer system built to survive the surface of the sun, but prone to breakdowns at any time.
It fits.

I am a kid at heart. I drink more whiskey than most, and you should be jealous. I am already madly in love with life and the pursuit of a good time. I don't have the perfect face, or body, or skin, or hair. I think that's what makes me beautiful. I want you to laugh more than you do. Things are really not all that important...people are. Be a giver in some way, you will get so much more out of that way of life. I'm not mysterious, I'm direct. Some people consider my blunt honesty ruthless and maniacal, but that simply shows me that they don't know what honesty really is. You can consider me crazy if you want to, but I just say what others think. Do the thing you're scared to do. Never quit. IF PEOPLE GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR HAPPINESS, GET RID OF THEM. It might be hard to make that kind of change, but poison is poison no matter what form it comes in. I hope you can learn from me because I will learn from you. If you're satisfied, set a higher goal. Play. Sing. Dance. Laugh. Scream. Cry. Relax. Do what you love for a living. If you stop loving it, stop doing it.
Look around, don't you see design in every living thing?....
notice.

Listen
Can you hear it?
The music
I can hear it everywhere
In the wind, In the air, In the light
It's all around us
All you have to do is open yourself up
All you have to do
.........................is listen
************************************************************ ****
Follow your heart and see where it might take you
Don't let the world outside there break you
They know not who you are inside
They have never felt your hell
Don't ever let them crack...
************************************************************ *****
So this is what they call
A prolonged adolescence
************************************************************ *****
I read with every broken heart
we should become more adventurous...

I am a Teacher.
I am a counselor and psychologist to a problem-filled child, I am a police officer that controls a child gone wild. I am a travel agent scheduling our trips for the year, I am a confidante that wipes a crying child's tear. I am a banker collecting money for a ton of different things, I am a librarian showing adventures that a storybook brings. I am a custodian that has to clean certain little messes, I am a psychic that learns to know all that everybody only guesses. I am a photographer keeping pictures of a child's yearly growth, When mother and father are gone for the day, I become both. I am a doctor that detects when a child is feeling sick, I am a politician that must know the laws and recognize a trick. I am a party planner for holidays to celebrate with all, I am a decorator of a room, filling each wall. I am a news reporter updating on our nation's current events, I am a detective solving small mysteries and ending all suspense. I am a clown and comedian that makes the children laugh, I am a dietitian assuring they have lunch or from mine, I give them half. When we seem to stray from values, I become a preacher, But I'm proud to have to be these people because...
I'm PROUD to say "I am a teacher."
************************************************************ ********
I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No...not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that...over-throws life. Unbiddable, ungovernable--like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. Love--like there has never been in a play.
************************************************************ **********
As we grow up
We learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
