Sometimes I sit and wonder why I can't sprout wings and start to fly Above the clouds so very high And then I'd be willing to die There are times when I cast my lot Against the things I have been taught And tie myself into a knot Looking from within what I've wrought I've lived, I've loved, I've had the best In many ways I have been blessed Still I must get things off my chest About my life, my zeal and zest No matter how hard I did seek The world always looked dark and bleak And though I tried to look so chic I felt I was a circus freak And now you see my cover's blown These days I live alone I suppose I'm in my own zone Had I but known, had I but known. ©February 7, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Little to late for me, and besides I could never go "that" way, whatever way you are thinking about, James. Thanks for the encouragement. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
