all sorts of emotions - happy, sad,
angry, scared, confused, lonely,
or hopeful. I think my friend
wrote this poem when she was
feeling lonely yet defiant .
Wonder if you feel the same way.

M a k e: B e l i e v e
Bee, leave me !
I don't want to be stung !
The day is far too short
as it is.
The day is far too short
to be everything imaginary.
As it is,
I am a damsel in distress.
I am a damsel in distress,
and then the night comes.
I must go inside
to be everything imaginary:
Life, beauty, success, love.
I must go inside
to wish on stars from my window,
and then the knight comes?
To wish on stars from my window:
"For give me these things -
life, beauty, success, love."
Then rise from the pane.
I know us.
I see the way the stars don't smile
Forgive me these things.
Then rise from the pain.
I see the way the stars don't smile,
and neither do you.
Some people aren't meant to be rescued,
I know. Us.
Some people aren't meant to be rescued.
I don't want to be stung,
and neither do you,
believe me.
