Song of Myself
Posted: February 17, 2004 11:59 pm
Well I had to write this poem type thing for my english class adn what better say to describe myself in free verse then Buffett so I have put together song quotes to make my poem only a PH would understand. I had to describe who I am, describe myself phisically emotionally and personality how my past has defined who i am today my dreams or goals for now and the future what i think of my family friends and culture adn how i feel about my world. These were only guidelines and we could make it however we wanted so here goes:
I see a little more of me everyday. If I could just get it down on paper I might make sense of it all. But it’s harder then it looks to live my life today. You see when life looks like easy street there is danger at the door.
I’m a brown eyed girl, laughing and a running, skippin and a jumpin. I’ve Caribbean soul I can barley control. Someone once described me as little miss magic riding into town with the top down trying to make sense of it all. I just don’t know but I can’t go back home. Living here in the cold looking back at my background trying to figure out how I ever got here. I grew up listening to Buffett’s carefree ways and I know I wanna go where its warm.
It’s the same story the crow told me it’s the only one he knows, like the morning sun you rise and like the wind you go. As of right now in the morning when I rise I’m just glad to be alive and I put on my barefoot shoes.
When you think of my family it’s like a three ring circus we’ve lived our little dramas but then the dust has finally settled and the air quickly cleares things were better off then I had feared.
They say this universe is bound to blow but I say we crank up the calypso control. I once heard that human beings are flawed individuals, that the cosmic bakers took us out of the oven a little to early and that’s the reason we’re as crazy as we are. And I believe it. Now I’ve got quarters in my loafers trying to fight inflation when it only used to take a cent. And that’s why it’s still a mystery to me why some people live like they do.
I’m growing older but not up and my metabolic rate will pleasantly stop. So I let the winds of change blow over my head. I’d rather die while I’m living then live while I’m dead. I take another road to another road to a hiding place and disappear with out a trace.
