At times I stray from what I know is right
And at times i need to be held at night
But more and more I need to be alone
With thoughts and dreams totally my own
I've had togetherness,oh, how I have tried
But it always ment heartache and how I cried
And I've had countless casual affairs here and there
But they left me empty not going anywhere
Yes like you ,I have had a dream crushed by an event
And lost all motivation not knowing where it went
I've been riding high and I have been down and out
With the desire to scream and not knowing what to shout
I've swore and cursed the day mother gave me life
And I have both loved and hated being a wife
I have drank so much my words were a mumble
But picked myself up when I started to stumble
I have traveled many roads to see where they lead
yes my life has taken many turns since first planted the seed
But through it all or maybe because it all I can answer why
I can stand proudly,independent,self assured with pride and say I am I..........
