A Note To Self - Based On India Arie's Song - Get It Together

A Note to Self You and you alone can make the change in your life to make it brighter! Self Self you need to try a different angle Years of trusting the wrong person Has left you frazzled and depressed Enough Enough self-inflicted wounds on your heart Cease the long waiting to exhale Stop blaming others for your misfortune Change Make a change for your heart’s health Flip the scrip this one isn't working You and you alone can change yourself For Poet ~ Destroyer's contest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpiWkSa19eI ~~India Arie - "Get it together"
