I don't see,' I said, 'how people stand being old. Your insides all dry up. When you're young you're so self-reliant. You don't even need much religion.
I wanted to be where nobody I knew could ever come.
I may never be happy, but tonight I am content.
Love life day by day, color by color, touch by touch.
I love my rejection slips. They show me I try.
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
