Updated lyrics to the song:

"Like a Road Map"

Verse

My marks bother me

My arms on my elbows

Lost their muscle - all I see is bone

My eyes puff and have dark marks

One hangs where 

I was beat up I was thrown

Into the cupboard corner

Doctor sewed me up 

with his eyes looking down


Chorus

Please don’t mind me

From my brain injury

It’s really not that bad

Not compared to 

what’s on my body

like a road map


Verse

I have lumps 

That look like humps

On one inside of my leg

The other one has an indent

They’re all from abuse


My brain doesn’t function as well

From a crack on my skull

It wasn’t enough to look at

I only felt it with my hand mostly 

After I woke up with a cracked eye

On the same side

The pharmacist looked at me to blame

Shamefully shaking his head


Chorus


Verse

I tried to send faxes to the governor 

Of my black and blue arms

Now thinking as I write 

When I can separate 

the timing of the standstill 

In our world


Never heard anything back

But thought to put it out, the word anyway

Maybe I can change it for the rest


Chorus

I’m still here 

I can make change

As long as I can walk 

And talk

For someone else

 I'm working on a composition for this song and think I have a pretty draft to at least put my lyrics to. Watch for this in my next podcast episode Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter. Image by  Moondance  from  Pixabay   "I Can Overcome You" by Lori Jean Finnila Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I still have fear to face You’re so powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time  The strongest to my imagination You are outside of my conception I’ll find a way to take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth is far equal to I know, I can overcome you…… Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from here And feel my true beauty and resilience I feel I need to take these steps And once I’ve done this They’ll be so many more I know,  so sadly But so true Chorus Though my fear appears to be

A Bit of a Poetry/Prose “Dead Woman in a Park” #unreasonableexpectations #lorijeanfinnila

 This I felt so strongly within this past hour. I could feel the coldness of how unimportant she was. I do remember her as an important woman. News Article Image by  Nicole Turner  from  Pixabay   What is the difference between this beautiful woman who is trying to find her beauty and strength in a tent?  A Woman's Struggle With the Fear of Camping Alone Unreasonable Expectations written by Lori Jean Finnila You are lost now not knowing what you see so sure of your fear before you die As you lay here dying no one hears you crying you eventually die eventually others who know your pain cry In the beauty of nature you find your last home perhaps finally feeling the safest ever perhaps it was a wanderer perhaps it was your fear that took you to your last day here I will remember you I know your journey I know your path I am a woman too who couldn’t fit into what was expected of us We all know too much we can’t fit into this triangle   of expectations that are unreasonably put upon us
