sometimes
my words runtogether
– say what? –
they
run
to gether
and i
get
frustrated
'cause it was sogood
so
good
the way it was
before
grammar came along
and messed itup
it
up
now people don't get the meaning
anymore
because
grammar came along
and messed it up.

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;
