This is pretty cool...

...not sure if I wrote it when I was 16 or 17. I think it's pretty clever.

"My faith is as thick as rope and as strong as fishing wire, my hope is as thin as paper and frays like hemp, My pain however pierces my heart and is as sharp as barbed wire. But my love for everything is as pure as the whitest of clouds, It is easily corrupt as storm clouds turned a dark shade of gray. My trust holds as a palm tree in the wind, it holds but waves to and fro and breaks at the right gust. I am ready to let them in, cure my taffy stuck tongue and make me as confident as a drunk girl because I want to dance as though I was high. But you must be warned, I can make you hit rock bottom like a stone over a cliff, and if they let me have my way, I'll tear them apart with my judgments that come quicker than an ocean wave. I act as I am and as my thoughts are made. I am Lauren."
