Kimberly Sikorski Poet Lyric

The Thin White Duke An Ode To David Bowie

And you think you are fine 
Till they say they want more
And you know you’re not quite right 
You want to be sure
Who would have thought 
Your world would end
As you unwind the string
You don’t want to pretend
I can’t be who you want me to be
My feet are bound to the floor
You leave me twisting in the wind 
As you unlock the door

I think I know
I know you know
You think you 
Know me so well
They think they know me so well

Received an invitation 
to a place you know you can not go
The thin white Duke got lost in here
The ashes melt as you
break the ice
Sanitys’ always got a price
Careful how you balance the costs
Just want to be known for you

I think I know 
I know you know
You think you 
Know me so well 
They think they
Know me so well

Yes, sanity has its price, cheaper in the long run than crazy though, in my experience anyhoo ;), Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 6, 2020 at 4:30 PM :))) Kimberly Sikorski May 6, 2020 at 12:14 PM Thank you Maureen for your kind and encouraging words.
