&quot;&#039;How could I be so lost,<br /> In a place I know so well?<br /> How could I be so broken,<br /> In a family so together?<br /> How could I be so lonely,<br /> Surrounded by so many?<br /> How could I be so unhappy,<br /> Surrounded by so much beauty?<br /> How could I be me,<br /> When even I remain a mystery?&quot;

'How could I be so lost,
In a place I know so well?
How could I be so broken,
In a family so together?
How could I be so lonely,
Surrounded by so many?
How could I be so unhappy,
Surrounded by so much beauty?
How could I be me,
When even I remain a mystery?

&ldquo;I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe
