What's a Girl To Do

The skies are blue,
my heart is too,
so many problems,
what's a girl to do.
I think I'll move,
away from here,
and create a new ocean,
with all these tears.
Then I'll set sail,
on water I own,
to a place unheard of,
to a place unknown.
A new identity,
new clothes to wear,
and if I decide to,
I'll change my hair.
Headed south,
where the climate is warm,
just me, and myself,
and all my charm.

I'd be willing to bet there is nothing that you can't do when you set your mind and heart to it, just keep looking for that rainbow. I think your storm has run its course. So kick baack, quit worrying and wait for the magic to happen. Friends are forever, Ron
