Why should I try and fix what I didn’t break?

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Oh you will take whatever’s offered
And dream that all the world’s a friend,
Suffer as your mother suffered,
Be as broken in the end.
—Poetry, May 1914
At The Rumpus, Michelle Dean explains the story behind the poems: “To A Child Dancing in the Wind” (above), and “When You Are Old.”

beckahhroxx asked: Thank you for your comment Amanda, I really appreciate it. =)
No problem, I don’t like when people are just plain mean and cowards about it. If their opinion was that important to them they wouldn’t mind standing by it, instead they hide like a coward. I could keep going lol just makes me so mad!
