I hate men......... really just one. One that lied to me, that swore he was my friend, that we'd be friends for a long time. One who I don't really want back in my life now. I'm done.

Well a few days ago, I was informed, that someone would like to publish one of my poems. I am quite excited. If you look at my other entries, the one with the 3 poems, and read the ones titles "Pieces", that is the one being published. I'm not getting paid or anything for it. But I am still happy that I am being published.
