The following words are NOT my story.
Woke up cold one Tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing
in my day to day life,
So I quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Woke up late one Thursday,
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes,
And I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused on the time,
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all off my friends dancing round and round,
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye bye them blues.

But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all off my friends dancing round and round,
| My art journal pagecreated with pens. |
| It says: To find a dance partner who can make you laugh, share your secrets with, and be a true friend is a treasure. |
My art journal page background is acrylic paint on an old phone book yellow page. |
| The drawings were done with pens It says: Bracelets I wore on Friday. The shoes I wore, on May 26. |
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye bye them blues.
Take me wandering through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet,
Stone to stone they take me on,
I'm walking to the break of dawn.
