i am not this fabulous by the grace of god <br />it is perhaps because i made a deal with the devil <br />i was not born with inner strength <br />it's just that you make it through the tough times or you don't <br /> <br />i didn't make a good decision one time, or a thousand <br />but i did make something out of nothing once or twice <br />i see that all that glitters isn't gold <br />that band on my finger almost killed me, that's how i know <br /> <br />i still don't understand the purpose of risk <br />but i do know that sometimes you jump or you die <br />i cannot take back anything i've ever said <br />and in the long run i only regret what i've never said aloud <br /> <br />i cannot predict the future and i've forgotten much of the past <br />but right here and right now i exist and that is my legacy <br />i am imperfect in every second of every day <br />and that is about the only thing i can honestly promise you <br /> <br />i think of the world as my oyster and my outhouse <br />and in return i am nourished and fertilized <br />i am not this fabulous because of a deal i made with the devil <br />i am fabulous just because i am<br /><br />hollie ash<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-this-fabulous-by-the-grace-of-god/
