I'm OK

I'm OK

 Dressed to the brim, I am Shakespearean

blending in I am a chameleon

Who am I my conscience asks me so often

struggling and trying to be OK in my tender skin

can I make it through all my thoughts of destruction

I need to try every day and avoid combustion

constantly feeling the battle of every day life

The next five minutes will be my fight

struggling to get where I need to be every day

I never thought that I would, but now I pray

please take this burning and piercing day

let the fall leaves blow my way

walking in my shoes is never easy

but I strive to be the best I can be

look up and see the moon and the stars

enjoy the fact that you are who you are

take a breath and breathe in the cleansing oxygen

damn, it is good to be done with where I've been

 You have my permission to write this song on including my lyrics and I would love to hear it I have had other friends right songs to my poetry and it is a very special and deep connection for me because I do love music. But if for some reason you become really famous don't forget I have plenty of songs where that one came from and I could probably supply you with songs for a long time in your career so keep me in mind thank you so much for your comments you have made my day

love you babe

Noelle

I have been writing since I was a child. But like so many stories in our lives we lose them over the years with moving and traveling from place to place.  Now as I see these books and stacks of paper and files I know it's time for me to give my poetry or my pain and happiness in my writing to anyone who finds it inspirational.  And please feel free to write a song with your new band and send me a video. That would make me the most happy.?

sure when the time comes to record I will. I've also been writing since I was a child... I've lost a lot of stuff but I've gained so much more because I've learned from what I've lost over time. with the band, we will work on the lyrics as a team...
