: About Me

Maryann Macleod, short, sharp and smart or so I like to think anyway.

I'm the girl who tries too hard to be the complete opposite of what everyone expects, the girl who never gets too close and the girl who can walk away from any situation with her head held high, no matter how difficult it may be. I'm the girl who could have fun sitting in solitary confinement and the girl who never cries. Other people would tell you that I'm the good time girl and nothing touches me, my life is always calm and easy and I'm the happiest person in the world. I could tell you a different story. In fact, I do tell a different story, I tell a hundred of them but I'm never the main character. Some other girl or boy, adult or child or somewhere in between, people who can cry, people who can show anger and hurt, people who can do all the things I can't. I don't have any idea why I write, mostly to free those ideas that keep me up at night, and partly so I can escape my world and become immersed in someone else's for a little while. However far from my world those other worlds are there is still a part of me inside, a part of me which is hidden from everyone else, read my work; welcome to my life.

I was a good girl Never strayed off track Stood there and watched silently Watched my skin turn black but they all loved me the little princess everyones pearl always hiding the blackness a secret I could never tell. Kneel in submission tie me in chains and dangle the key thats how you taught me kneel in submission don't question authority kneel in submission you're nothing and never will be. And i believed you a child so small what else could I do strive for affection tried as hard as I could never ever reached perfection said you're no good no good... kneel in submission tie me in chains...
