I am I am wild and untamed I wonder why I am this way I hear the roar of the crowd I see my adoring fans I want to set the world on fire I am wild and untamed. I pretend I’m stronger than I am I feel my artificial walls crumble I touch the tender carcass of my soul I worry that I’ll never love again I cry for my lost childhood I am wild and untamed. I understand that life is what you make of it I say I can do anything I dream of falling in love again I try to embrace life with arms wide open I hope to live life with no regrets I am wild and untamed. |

tara... you did a great job with this... lots to learn about you...which was the fun of this challenge... I like the way you questioned things in your life...and your hope of things to come shined in it. very nice work!! ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |

Thanks everyone! I thought this challenge was going to be easy to do, but it took a lot longer than I thought to get it "right". My original attempt was to do it without revealing so much of myself. I soon discovered that was impossible! Nice to meet all of you! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
