I'm beautiful
by Sigurdur HaraldssonAfter a long dark soul-searching night
I drive back to where I belong
'cause
you keep telling me I'm beautiful 08/26/2007 Author's Note: Prompted by
"you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but i feel a little less so each time.
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign,
but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and i found i missed no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars."
from "swim," a song by ani difranco from her "educated guess" album.

| Posted by Dan Kasten on 08/26/07 at 04:45 PM Great lyrics of your own. Poetic and true. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 09/07/07 at 05:17 PM I get the feeling that there is something fake when the person tells you you're beautiful, and so it requires a long, hard, all-night look at things before we end up back where we belong, alone in truth. |
