you got nothing to lose if you have nothing to begin with.

The marigolds, your favorite flower,
Sleep peacefully on your wooden box
That will be your bed from now on.
Inside lies you,
Your body motionless
Like a burnt out candle.
When they lower you
Into your new home,
I'll remember the days when
We never had to worry about tomorrow.
So I'll say a few words now,
Try to hold back my sea of tears.
I'll say my last good-bye
As you begin your life six feet under.

Everyone&#039;s crazy. You know why? We all want to be normal. Well, we cant define normal, and, the people you can point at and say, well isn&#039;t he/she normal are rare. Doesnt that kind of defeat the pupose of normal? -My Friend
