As I get closer to donating some of my poetry books to shelters I feel such an inspiration to my writing. Reading my poems for others help me connect to the writing in a new and better way. I'm excited to have a song update and some new writing today.

Updated Lyrics to On the Edge of Death

Verse

I walk this morning

To keep my body up

Moving, strong in my mind

Life seems so long when I do this

Chorus

There's no reason not to try so hard

There is no diagnosis in life

It's what we lead 

What we do

Living on the edge of death

Verse

Eventually I'll ride across the sky in a tram

To my favorite hiking path

Through the woods with its deep, twisting turns

of isolation in it's hills

Of closed off destinations 

That I scare to deep in my insides

But feel more life

Chorus

Verse

I still have a list of things to do

I tire to in my mind

That I can't hold for long

Make donuts

Ride that tram

Make that hill

I will not die

Breathe 

I can make it

One more time

At least in my mind

living on the edge of death

Chorus

New Writing: The Magic Feeling

I get up with my body burning

with hardly any energy

comb my hair take a shower

try to eat after I puke

my skin is dry and pale

I try to hide it with tinted cream

but still see the dark eyes

am I beautiful anymore

I reach for my favorite words with

inspiration that brings me life

I can’t believe I can still feel this magic feeling

of words that come so magic to me

I feel life outside of myself that is mine

I know i’m on the right path to who I am

I can’t believe the tire hasn’t killed me

I fight to keep the food down on a daily basis

though I know it will come back

I start to hear the words….

I’m climbing so hard to make that hill

and joyously sharing my challenges

that I try to achieve

I will continue to walk towards my words

they bring my body to  life and its existence

its being and acceptance

Just got finished updating (Starfish) "My Starfish," a new song I'm working on. I think it's deep. I'm playing around with a synth instrumental I've worked on. We'll see if it stays with that piece. Here's the layout.

My Starfish

Verse

Beauty that is beautiful even if it’s not perfect

Beauty distorted on purpose to show new beauty

A home is being made in the mind

People and their opinions are so scattered about

the flying starfish moves for me

as the sand cascades it’s waves

like magic rushes of water

Chorus

the flying starfish

move for me my friend

I’m an outcast

life hasn’t turned out like I planned

as the sand cascades like magic rushes of water

equal to the power of the sea

movement I have no control over

Verse

newly learned with you beside me

my mark, my internal wounds

long term affects on my body

move for me starfish

as she lays back sleeping so eloquently

that’s all she can do holding her hand

learning to love herself receiving a long awaited feeling 

of love and confidence outside of herself

Bridge

yes you will get that second glance at these circumstances

feeling the shrill of the essential central decline

My dreams are close 

I can see My life is opening to me 

with its hands reaching wide

My eyes, head, ears, are receiving

receiving a long awaited feeling of love and confidence

with years of independence to a second childhood

Chorus

my starfish

I have no control over

my starfish

I have no control over

my starfish

my starfish

oooooo

oooooo

Personal Thank You

I found my own angelic connection with this writing. Of course I can't find the full meaning a this point but I wanted to share where I am with it now. 

Sometimes when I can't see clearly it's a gift.

When I started writing this I found a connection to my back that has been injured where I find a hard time moving. I'm not sure where it's going now but it's interesting.

My Starfish

Beauty that is beautiful even if it’s not perfect

Beauty distorted on purpose to show new beauty

A home is being made in the mind

People and their opinions are so scattered about

My dreams are close I can see the ocean and feel its breeze

My life is opening to me with its hands reaching wide

My eyes, head, ears, are receiving

receiving a long awaited feeling of love and confidence

with years of independent to a second childhood

the flying starfish

move for me my friend

I’m an outcast

life hasn’t turned out like I planned

as the sand cascades like magic rushes of water

equal to the power of the sea

movement I have no control over

newly learned with you beside me

move for me my starfish

my mark, my internal wounds

long term affects on my body

move for me starfish

as she lays back sleeping so eloquently

that’s all she can do holding her hand

learning to love herself receiving a long awaited feeling 

of love and confidence outside of herself

yes you will get that second glance at these circumstances

feeling the shrill of the essential central decline

Sad To Say Goodbye #blessings #lorijeanfinnila #awomanchallenged

 Unfortunately it has come to my realization that podcasting is no more beneficial to me. Being a woman on my own platform is very hard to discuss what I want to say without so much interference. Making projects of art: writing, singing, photography in my poetry books, sharing my life in stories and pictures is a love that is easy no matter what is being done. I've found to ensure my highest health I will continue with this. 

I'm so grateful for the love and support I've had along the way in this venture and I will continue to share my honest truth  as I can see it at the time about life in my work. I will surely miss this road of my life but definitely feel the connecting already in my work to come. Bless this world.
