A Poem by Katie Kistler

Ever since I was a little girl
I've been singing to girls named Sylvia
Because Dirty Dancing was my favorite movie
So Sylvia, come and dirty dance with me

Ever since I started smoking cigarettes
I've really only smoked Marlboro red hundreds
Cause that was what was smoked by all my friends
But I wish I found a cigarette that fit the want inside my head

Best friends never were my cup of tea
I would latch myself to people
Thinking they'd give me what I need but
I have got to find things for myself
I've got a long, long list of dreams
That only cater to myself and my well being

So I step
Step, step, step
On the stepping stones
Jump from place to place
I jump alone
Time is the price
I've got to pay
For traveling to my home
Step, step, step, step
I step alone
Jump from place to place
I jump alone
Time is the price
I have to pay
In looking for a home

Ever since I got back it's been clear
That I am not in love with you
I never was in love with you
Infatuation messed me up, my dear
My dear, dear friend
I'm glad to say it always has an end

And staying always seemed the way to go
But now I've stayed too many days
And I need something more

So tell me that you'll miss me when I'm gone
I know I'll miss the good times
And I hope that I'm not wrong
When I think that you might have a missing piece
For a year or two or three
And it probably will be me

Cause family don't ever cut their ties
I've tied my little finger to yours for all time


But I'll still step
Step, step, step
On the stepping stones
Jump from place to place
I'll jump alone
Time is the price
I've got to pay
For traveling to my home
Step, step, step, step
I step alone
Jump from place to place
I jump alone
Time is the price
I have to pay
In looking for a home
