I read an article on aversion therapy
And decided to give it a try
Everytime you cross my mind,
I replace that thought with broccoli.

He carries an umbrella if there is
More than a fifty precent chance of rain.
If it pours, I just get wet,
And stomp in mud puddles for good measure.
...

On my 40th birthday,
I went to a book store,
Pulled a book off the shelf
Turned to page eight, and saw my name
...

I'm trying not to think too much,
Trying not to analyze or dwell on the what ifs,
Trying to just get through the next minute,
The next hour, the next day
...

I feel all powerful woman, most of the time,
Like nothing can hold me back
I am the speeding train roaring down the track
And my strength knows no bounds.
...

The loss I feel right now is immeasurable.
You were my greatest lover,
There are no words to describe the heights
Of ecstasy, the countless nights of pleasure
...

We don't see the big picture
But, maybe we aren't meant to,
Or aren't ready to, yet.
I think God gave each religion,
...

I may be the first person to say this-
But...I needed 9/11.
That day that rocked me to my core
And made me step back in fear
...

I have a fetish for those boys
That travel in pairs.
Their crisply cut hair and
Stark, white shirts.
...

They say at the root of all addictions
Is the search for wholeness,
...

My skin is intact
But there are scars you don't see
Scars on wounds still festering,
Scars still bleeding on a soul
...

I was doing my good deed for the day,
I only had to deliver his meal,
Give him a smile and a prayer,
Then walk away, job done.
...

I don't really feel connected to it
This weird lump I found on my body
Seems like a foreign object that
Somehow got planted here when
...

I know it isn't always going to be perfect.
That there will be days when
We'll look at each other and wonder
'What the hell was I thinking? '
...

I thought I'd be ok.
Thought I could just stop by,
Pick up the last of my stuff,
Wave goodbye and leave
...

I always hated that speech
The “You’re a nice woman, but I don’t think
We’re right for each other.” Getting dumped speech.
I actually admire the men who have the guts to give it.
