It's funny

It’s funny,

how gazing up at the stars at night

causes me to view my life in a completely different way,

and that the shortest phrase

can conjure up emotions I never knew existed.

It’s funny,

that money and fear keep me from taking chances,

but are also my biggest motivators.

How I want so badly the things

that I know are so bad for me,

and that I can stand in a room full of people

and still feel completely alone.

It’s funny,

That I desperately want to find a respectful man,

yet date ignorant men that don’t even respect themselves.

That children can teach us more than

our professors ever could,

And that life is not like a box of chocolates,

but rather like your mom’s mystery casserole. 

It may appear unpleasant and cause you to question its contents,

But once tried is actually quite marvelous.
