i do it for the joy it brings, because i am a joyful girl. because the world owes me nothing,and we owe each other the world. i do it because it's the least i can do, i do it because i learned it from you. i do it just because i want to, because i want to. i just want to.

the bathroom mirror has not budged,and the woman who lives there can tell the truth from the stuff that they say, and she looks me in the eye and says would you prefer the easy way? no, well o.k. then. don't cry.
