My Way

I always felt the lust flowing thru my veins

Talking in my head sometimes driving me insane

It's the power of the road that seems to take hold

It's the wandering bug flowing out of control

I've tried to settle down but found it so hard

Never worrying about what laid ahead for me

Older now with open vision the past is all I see

I've been called a woman of class every entrance a debutante

Been called a hell raiser the devil would fight not to set free

I've long since stopped caring what people had to say

Found it better to live life my own way

My life has been just one big oxymoron stroll

But thru it all I have managed to keep my heart out of the cold

Broken tattered barely beating still....fighting to continue its will.....

Never been my intent to cast harm upon life

But sadly sometimes I was a double edged knife

Never been one to lay with many men

Kept them at a distance made them my friend

So don't mistake my wildness to mean that I am loose

For if you do life will give you a swift kick in your caboose

I loved it all, Happy! (esp. the kick in the caboose!! rolling on the floor laughing - would serve them right!)

You've made it through lots, and have been a great person to know during the time I've known you here.
(Oh, I just love some of Dean Martin's songs, too. One of my favorites is 'Return to Me'. And I think I loved to hear Frank speak even more than sing-lol)
Great poem!!!

Hello Miss Happy: Just want to tell you that I enjoyed reading your poem. At my "crazy" cousins funeral (Was called Smoky, age=45) his brother said to me, "He did it his way".
