The Return of Sunday Quote Blogging!!!

Yes it's true. For those of you who read this on a somewhat regular basis, you've probably noticed the absence of my Sunday Quote Blogging over the past month or so. (Phew, for all I remember it may be longer than that...I'm too lazy to look it up in my archives). The absence hasn't been for lack of thought. I've thought about it on many a Sunday, but nothing really struck me as worth posting. And so consider this the return of Sunday Quote Blogging!!! Enjoy!

"and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying past

i'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and i would like to state for the record
i did everything that i could do
i'm not saying that i'm a saint
i just don't want to live that way
no, i will never be a saint
but i will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said"
