I'Ll Be Me

Put down the walls and set yourself free...

Strip down naked and feel the rain through the trees...

Open your mouth and taste life as its meant to be...

Display your soul , for the world must see...

On a canvas or a stage to a blank paper, I'll be me...

That's exactly how we should live our lives. We can't try to meet others' expectations, so let's just be ourselves, Michael. (I wonder what the neighbors would think if I streaked up and down the block?) Love, Carolyn

The most explicit way to pour out my soul is through music and writing. what actually matters is to use a medium and not to talk about the medium, use it , it obeys. love, melody maker.
