the one about the girl too shy for a world too loud
a girl told to quiet down to please the clowns
young and wild turned inwards made to her rot
learned that her voice was better kept quiet to keep the peace
surrounded by noice her voice drown in an empty void
she opened her mouth and nothing came out
in nothingness she sat until the empty space began to grow
one rainy day she said enough! and cried out the pain
she learn to scream and shout so loud it made the world stop
time frozen in space she learned her voice was the way
she opened her mouth and everything flooded out
the pain the laughs the songs the excitement of the blooming flower
she grew so fast the world became too small
she rose above the pain a flame grew from her chest
she rose to the sky and became a star

The Perfect Two: Chocolate Covered Cherries and Red Wine
Chocolate covered cherries and red wine are the perfect pairing. This is a spin on the classic chocoate covered strawberries. We all know that strawberries are an aphrodisiac, so it's a pairing that I offten have with wine. Chocolate covered strawberries are a staple for Valentines's day as a gift of love an admiration, It's romantic! Is chocolate also an aphrodisiac ? no. But is is so tasty you can cover almost anything in chocolate and make it twice as delicious. No wonder we have fountains dedicated to chocolate, and again it's a romantic sweet treat that we can enjoy to sweeten our world. We can all use more romance in our lives after-all.

Bright red beet
The famous faux pas. Everyone makes one, and baulks afterwards. Of course, it leaves one at the height of discomfort. We do what humans do - make a myriad of mistakes. Admittedly, we can't avoid them, but we can make up for them with sincere apologies. We try to learn from these errors and move forward.
