American Woman X

Why is my life

Not sweet enough
To fulfill my desire

For a sweet life.

Left turns
Leading to nowhere

Find me
In the center of the maze again.

Looking inward
Gives me vertigo

I don't know

Where to go.

Funhouse mirrors

Speak greater truths

Than what I see

In my own reflection.

I've fallen
And I can't get down

I'm dreaming

And I can't wake up.

American Woman IX

Found the courage

Located the faith
To take the step
Away to a new place.

Alone and free

Strong where we

Think we want to be
And then we remember.

Why we stayed so long

Finding reasons

To just hang in there 
To stay strong.

Lonely nights

Listening to the dog

Lick his rear end

Looking at the clock.

Wondering did I 
Choose the right course
Did I find myself
Or lose myself in this Divorce.
