Hold On Folks. They're Only Lyrics!

Ok folks. You REALLY need to remember, they're only lyrics. Some written today, some written several years ago. "I Was" are simply lyrics I made up. There was not (and is not) ANY intent to do ANY harm to myself. They are simply lyrics. As an example, here are the lyrics from an Elton John song called "Goodbye":


And now that it's all over
The birds can nest again
I'll only snow when the sun comes out
I'll shine only when it starts to rain

And if you want a drink
Just squeeze my hand
And wine will flow into the land
And feed my lambs

For I am a mirror
I can reflect the moon
I will write songs for you
I'll be your silver spoon

I'm sorry I took your time
I am the poem that doesn't rhyme
Just turn back a page
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
I'll waste away, I'll waste away
 



And here's another Elton John song: "Someone's Final Song"







He died when the house was empty
When the maid had gone
He put a pen to paper for one final song
He wrote - Oh babe, it's the only way
I know it's wrong but I can't stand
To go on living, to go on living, living life this way

And I don't know what the time is
Or what the next line is
Or how you're going to take the news
But if I had my life again
I wouldn't change a thing
I'd let nobody, I'd let nobody
Stand inside my shoes

Something's gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be
I've gathered dust like the dying flowers
And I've drunk myself sober
After hours and hours

After hours and hours


Gee. Bernie Taupin is still alive? How come???? Because they were just lyrics!
So, thank you for your concern, but honestly, I'm fine and looking forward to the future. There will be much to experience in the near future. And I don't want to miss it, good or bad.
