Another day

Who What

Who? What?

Imagine if I was you, what would I see? what would I do?. Imagine if you were me?, what would you see? What would you do? Now, knowing we are free, to be what we want to be? Not lost in captivity, you being me, and I being you, what do you think we s

How do you see it

How do you see it?

Just how it is

Just how it is

Seeing the world through a diamond sky, telling my heart, telling a lie, that it will be OK, I won't be losing you, but if I ever do, I loved being in love, and I loved being in love with you xx

Well this is how it is

Well, this is how it is!

So the Russians are on our shore, monstrous entity too big to IGNORE, and we will float out with our toys, pretend we are bigger, lies, we are just tiny,, little one fishing trawler,, ok,,, we know you are taller, you go away,,, and Ill have nothi

I dont know either

YOU

YOU

Math or not

Math or not?

And she looked lovely, but she was not you, and she smiled that nice smile, but not like you, there was not a moment in time, she could walk your line, noone can take your place in my mind, noone can be you, your kind, a unique being, thats what i am

Meant to be pink, but born blue,who knew?, not me, not even you, and the whole world was green, something you could not let be seen, then the coloures faded as life went on, green turned to grey, blue took a new hue, pink got lost, somewhere in my t

LIVING IT UP

LIVING IT UP

If I am the ‘me’ that decides what I see and thus am an ‘I’ not a ‘we’ why do I hear so many ‘I’s proclaiming themselves to be ‘we’? i.e., “we are all equal we must be free we should be saving the world…” I don’t recall my consent to
