"I'm a little bit of Everything, all roled into One,
I'm a Bitch, I'm a Lover,
I'm a Child, I'm a Mother,
I'm a Sinner, I'm a Saint,
I do not feel ashamed !
I'm your Hell, I'm your Dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way...
So take me as I am..."
Meredith Brooks
I'm me..."not a Girl, not yet a Woman", but surely a granddaughter, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, a student in a crowded lecture theater, a stranger on the streets, a face through a window pane, watching the landscapes going by, as I listen to some music, dreaming of another life, thinking of someone, wondering why, why, why ?
I am a soul, a spirit, a heart and a body.
I'm a night owl. A night owl who wakes up at 3 am to write down a few words which came to her mind while she was sleeping...and which will probably become the roots of her new texts.
I'm unsure, selective and amazingly autistic.
I can be a singer, a writer, an actress. I can be inspired, charmed, overwhelmed. I can be lost or lose you. Always so demanding, unsatisfied, idealistic.
I can feel alone among the others. I can feel observed when there's no one around.
I can be somebody for someone and nobody to myself.
I am my own best Friend and my very worst Enemy.
To you, I might be(come) someone who loves orchids, milk chocolate and the autumn's leaves. Someone who likes to watch a good movie wrapped in a blanket. Someone who needs to laugh, to feel alive. Someone who enjoys sitting in front of the ocean for hours, without saying a word, breathing in and out the fresh breeze, remembering Louis' wise words : "What a wonderful world...".
Or I might be(come), someone who's looking for beautiful souls and good hearts, analysing each and every thing, each and every word...
I'm someone easy to leave, even easier to forget.
A person who likes seduction and sensuality, intelligence and complicity. Pure Beauty (Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Ursula Andress, Veronica Lake, Ava Gardner...). Deep eyes and sweet hands. Falling in love over and over again. Feeling loved.
A Bridget Jones looking for her Mark Darcy.
(No more Daniel Cleaver, thanks !)
A woman-to-be who pictures herself as a future single mother of three adopted boys.
A Girl who would like to have Fanny Ardant's voice, Adriana Lima's body, Gwen Stefani's style and Micki Pistorious' career.
Or all of Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
A nice piece of work unsecretly in love with Al Pacino.
Definitely someone who would adore to know how to play violin and would love to learn how to speak the Indonesia Bahasa. Someone who would love to live in London (who loves Hugh Grant's British style and David Lowe's humour, charm and witness) or anywhere else in Ireland.
A Girl who loves Irish ! (The Corrs, The Cranberries, U2, Oscar Wilde...)
...and you, who are you ?
"There's a deep Girl in a corner shop,
Selling sugar for Money, to the Dead of the Night,
And her Soul's in the Sugar, and her Heart's in the Mud,
And She's crying with a Stranger, for Someone to love...
And She sings...
Look at me, See me...
Look at me, Save me...
Free me, Find me...
'Cause if there's Somebody for Someone,
Yeah, look at me..."
The Corrs
"In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Martin Luther King (1929-1968)"To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the Palm of your Hand, And Eternity in an Hour..."
William Blake (1757-1827)
"You see She's...
turning the Key,
unlocking the Door,
embracing the roller coaster World,
stepping outside, with Body and Soul,
taking whatever Future holds..."
The Corrs
