more from that month
I'm not a 'big' writer, more or less a haphazard one. I only write these days if something triggers a thought, and as my days are mostly the same as the same evermore can I get an 'Amen' brother, I don't do much 'deep' thinking. However, since a few people have asked to see other things I have written, here is something from 8 years ago I pulled out of the vault. I Could Have Been You I see you standing there Basking in the accolade of the masses As they stare at you through The rose colored glasses they wear That blind them to What is the real you. I hear the words, oh so fair Calling them there full of hopes And dreams...but they are merely schemes Cleverly concealed platitudes Falsely woven attitudes Giving no latitude to what others may say But me?? I refuse to wear glasses, I see what is true My eyes see the real you And know that your preening And posturing pose Brands you as foes to those Who would seek a far better truth But I have no proof... Only the clarity of the mirror that shows If I had sold my soul I could have been you, Done all that you do With only the loss of myself My soul left upon a shelf In the bargain. But when the day falls And we all answer the call of Judgement... You may find it daunting Your soul was found wanting... While the Truth shall set ME free © 2013 Michael Joseph Ratcliffe (photo of ex-wife #4)

this is deeply hurt inside... good thing you have a way to release the pain thru writing.. but still the pain remains...
Yo! I like it. I could actually feel what you were writing. Thank you for sharing it. Renoised :)
Wish I could here how it's been sung. Tried over and over again to pin a rhythm to it. The lines speak for themselves tho.
Cool. I liked most the second strophe. 😮 Now you motivate me to write something in English 😁💪 I will try one of these days, but I doubt I can be as good as you are 👍
Good one.
I assume by the style it is a song. Based on what I know from you I would love to hear it as you intended it one day. :D I am kind of visualising a "Cries in the Night" type of sound?
Ex-wife #4 appears to be quite the looker, Mr. Myklj999. In fact, if you stare at that pic long enough, you'll eventually notice she is holding a cellphone. My guess is that she lived up to the old saying: No matter how good she looks, there is some guy, somewhere, who is tired of putting up with her shit.
