    She's cracked in the head.

    Nursery Rhymes

     a weaker vessel
    resting high on a shelf
    instead of taking care
    they (most of them men) demanded more
    than she could dare
    and pushed her off the ledge---
    broken to bits
    and all the King's christians
    and all the King's saints
    couldn't put her back together again

    I feel the pain in this. Even though it doesn't stop the pain we need people in our lives to lift us up and not pull us down. So replace the ones that put you down and gather the roses in your life.
