“It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.
If you cut me I could shine.
But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,
I skin my knees. I bleed.”

I am glad you showed me the movie today; I needed something light and happy! The poem and the books are a bit more sad and my ACG class is downright depressing lol
