Daring!
I come home really late (It must be nearly 10 pm) I wear my skirt short, short (A good inch above my knee) I go to a club (Darby and Joan were really nice)I listen to loud music (The Band of the Coldstream Guards) I dice with danger (Cautiously) I live life to the fullContinueContinue reading “Daring!”
Must I?

You’re using your own eyes Listening to your own voice Hearing your own words That is not me I have my own view of the world My own voice And my own words If you listen to themContinueContinue reading “See Me!”
Busy Doing Nothing
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com This came to me just now, and encapsulates how I’m feeling at the moment. That moment when you desperately want something to do that you want to do, but there is nothing. Irritation at it’s finest! I’m sitting here Doing nothing Which is exactly What I’m not supposed toContinueContinue reading “Busy Doing Nothing”

You Don’t Feel Me
