It's Not That Marriage Itself

I Was Tired Of Chasing Ghosts, Hollow Men Who Were Outside My Comfort Zone, Men Who Had Nothing To Give Me Except A Rush. It Was All I Asked For, And All I Ever Got.

I Used To Get A Lot Of Letters From Prisoners. It Used To Get On My Nerves. Especially Family Members. Everybody's Innocent.

I Remember The Day I Turned Thirty. I Was Getting Out Of The Shower And I Stood In Front Of The Mirror And Stared At Myself For A Long Time. I Examined Every Inch Of My Body And Appreciated The Fact That I Finally Looked Like A Grown Woman. I Also Assumed That This Was How I Was Going To Look For The Rest Of My Life. The Way I Saw It, I Was Never Going To Age; I'd Just Look Up One Day And Be Old.

It Should Be Obvious That I Wasn't No Honor Roll Student In High School. My Favorite Class Was Boys.

I Don't Let Negative Criticism, For The Most Part, Bother Me.
