Isn't it strange some people make
You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!
But when you're with some other ones,
It's stranger still to find
Your thoughts as thick as fireflies
All shiny in your mind!
This poem is in the public domain.

Oh, but everyone's lovable in their own pretty way. Ha! Maybe I say that because I'm to be put in the first group.
