Still Trying

Still trying Waking up alone again, but the sun is shining; Life is tough, but it is good enough to make me smile. If I said I was doing ok, I would probably be lying, But I can rise out of bed and face the world and maybe in a while, Things will get better; I could find a rainbow in my tears. I could find the love I have been searching for, for all these years. The songs raise my soul to another level; I become more than I have ever been able to be. The clouds outside drift apart and with them go my troubles; A new lyric can make such a difference to me. Radio Gaga has become a lady in my mind; If I could just impress, then I could have all I wish for And maybe I could do what I can do on stage. If things do work out for me, I will work hard and try, Because I love what I do, I love speaking to you; You give me the strength to smash out of my cage. Breaking out through the fire exit; Running into another day ready to face it. The adrenaline flows as I produce all I can; The pen and pad is my paintbrush and I am what I am. (C)2016 Aa Harvey.
