Making Lemonade out of Plastic Lemons (for Chick)

by Nicole M. - Gemini

life gives you what you got
and all the wishing in the world
   won't change the stock

Eventually
  you'll have know there's a difference
between being lonely
   and being alone
 figure out why
   you're scared to be without
a distraction
  maybe this is your opportunity
 to get to know the one person
you shouldn't be ignoring

  you'll have to acknowledge
 the fact
    that just because
you held onto the razor blade
  before
does not mean
   you should still be squeezing it
in the palm of your hand

Reason for writing:

    I've been following Chicks poems lately, and it really makes me sad that you're not able to get over this guy.  I'm sure you know deep down that you aren't alone, but I'm sure it feels like you are.  Sometimes you have to change your way of thinking before the world starts to change...that's hard though...I know.  But honestly, I can't believe you find enough comfort in this pain to keep holding onto it.  Sorry for the unsolicited advice...I would just like to see you start to feel better about life.  You deserve to have a better attitude and to be happy.
