Tired of being thought of as Sandra Dee
Easily ignored, used and walked over
So easy to read
Little Sandra Dee with nothing new to say
So easy to tease
Stumbling over my words & feet
So easy to leave
Not worth keeping around
Such a prude better watch what you say
As if I haven't heard it all before
Well most of it anyway
Little Sandra Dee goody two shoes
Best keep your stockings straight
Round me and stick to the rules
Do I seem that serious
Do I come across as such a fool
So I don't smoke or toke on a tool
Yes, I did alright in school
Oh my god I even get along
With my parents still
No I'm not just another a fake
Under tons of make up
Does that mean you know me
I've just about had my fill
Of you saying that I'm sweet
Little Sandra Dee just another dummy
Ready to get on my knees
Believe what others say so easily
Follow their lead
Only to be kicked aside
Maybe I don't swear like a sailor
Doesn't mean I can't hold my own
Maybe I don't wear lace and leather
I can stand tall and turn heads
Probably drink you under the table
And show you a few things in bed
Though I prefer things simple and comfortable
Doesn't mean I don't seek adventure
Little Sandra Dee I come across to you
In the end I say believe whatever
The hell you want to my dear
Doesn't really matter to me
A random mix of Poetry/ Prose, true tales of adventures, bits of fiction I'm working on, and occasionally just the oddball stuff I have to get out of my head...

Choices and change...
I don't know what I'm trying to say
I woke up the other day
I wasn't alone and it felt right
Then it all changed again
Nothing can stay
I know it's true
Everything must rearrange
Every so often and be made new
I could hold my breath
Till I'm blue in the face
But it wouldn't have made him
Do anything any differently
We went our separate ways
The way it should be
Both supported by family
Our choices we make as we go
Even when they are not our own
We always have a choice
They say but sometimes making
The right one will feel wrong
I wish I felt strong
That I was doing all I could do
I know I'm not though
I know there is more I could be
Doing for me
I have to forget about you now
I have to do whatever I can
To just go to bed and get up again
The next morning and be okay
It sounds foolish and so easy
You've fought battles far away
I probably sound crazy
That most of my battle is
Right here in my head
But I know I'm not crazy
Scared and lonely maybe
Perhaps even rather lazy
I'm fighting to find my purpose
While you fight for my rights
I'm glad we had that one night
Though I hope to see you again
Sometime soon my friend
Till then I've got to live on
But I'll always keep my dance
Card open for you to step in
When you get a chance
