ORIGINALITY

It almost always starts this way

A searing burning in my heart

     Racing heartbeats

Then there is the pin like pain in my head

Most definitely these tell me I am due

Those are my birth pains

When they come I write because that is how my words are born

There are times I have tried to induce them

Because I have heard it said that ‘you can’t wait forever’.

What has happened afterward no mother has had to do

Kill her own babies

It doesn’t help that stars have already blazed their trails on this path

I have gone in search of what others have done

Those are the days I have questioned what I have to give

And whether my footprints will even make indents in the path

Thank God the path is not made of glass

You are gonna ask for my autograph someday

When that day comes you are gonna wanna have a talk with me a bit

Then, maybe I might not have the luxury of time because of all the autographs I have to sign

When that day comes, just know I am just a girl who didn’t quit.

A girl who didn’t stop believing

A girl who believes in fairy tales

I have made up my mind

I am gonna write out of what I feel

In no particular order

Following no one’s rules

Just keeping it real.

Stay with me

Grow with me

Walk the red carpet with me
