I am the funniest woman that you've ever known. I am the dullest woman that you've ever known. I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known and… - Alanis Morissette

How can you just throw words around?
Like grieve and heal and mourn
I feel fine we may not have been born
As awake as you were
It was much harder in those days
We had paper routes uphill both ways
We went from school to a job to a wife
To instant parenthood.

But this won't work as well as the way it once did
Because I want to decide between survival and bliss.
And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am,
But I know I won't keep on playing the victim. These precious illusions in my head
Did not let me down when I was a kid
And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend.

I wanna be naked running through the streets.
I wanna invite this so-called chaos that you'd think I dare not be.
I wanna be weightless flying through the air,
I wanna drop all these limitations but the shoes upon my feet.
