Space Bound

Eminem

(Verse 1)

I know it wasn’t a good idea to dance on the table, but I was having such a good time. I’m afraid I didn’t realize that the table wasn’t strong enough to support my weight. Anyway, please accept my sincerest apologies for being so foolish. It won’t happen again. I’ve enclosed

Why Was Writing in a Diary a Strange Experience for Anne Frank?
