The Good, Bad, Wrong, and Right:

by Gina Anderson
(Mount Vernon, Iowa )

I am always in the mood to leave, sometimes I can't, only because I'm asked to stay,
asked to stay by the ones who care,
asked to stay by the ones who dare.
I know I'm not perfect,
I know I'm not strict,
but when I'm in the mood,
I really do get rude.
So I ask you with all your heart to help me be strong as I do wrong. Don't let this hurt you,
don't let this concern you,
for I have my thoughts as you have your power.
