thoughts seem so worthless
that they are sold for pennies,
mine must be worth more

When life gives you lemons make iced tea because you make your own paths in life not fallowing behind others, true love never dies, don&#039;t give up on your dreams, if you shoot for the moon and miss don&#039;t worry because you&#039;ll land among the stars.

I like the twist on an old cliche. I also like the lack of capitalization. It works well in short poems like this because everything has to be so boiled down and concentrated.
