Myowntown

A Poem by Karina Longo
"

Happy lyrics, for a change. And no, I'm not being ironic. If you know my work, you know that! :)

"
Weird just like a hungover but cheaper than
a Chardonnay 
You've been thinking of so called impossible things all day
The motor inside your heart is jammed
But nothing could stop you from gear it up
Get away from there, you want life instead of air
It doesn't mean you won't keep breathing 
There's a whole damn lot of things in this world 
And dreams and photographs could never picture them big enough
They can't say you won't make it 
You won't have to fade it 
Still keeping your feet on the ground
No, it doesn't mean your head's in the clouds
What's wrong about following a new path to Myowntown?
Yes, you want to get away from there
Breathe a new life not empty air 
As the wheels just keep on turning 
You've always been the hopeful type
Who'd never miss a rainbow in a day of a bright sunshine
And even when it's raining inside your mind
Who'd ever guess the tears could be so genuine 
They're the anxiety and fear that someone
Might try to take away your soul's purity
They can't say you won't make it 
You won't have to fade it 
Still keeping your feet on the ground
No, it doesn't mean your head's in the clouds
What's wrong about following a new path to Myowntown?

there are the words...and then there is the carrier wave. The emotions and sentiment woven into this poem are bittersweet and touch inner spaces...reality rings familiar and you walk right straight down the middle of the path with this piece. Beautiful writing dear girl!
