don't let them put you on a shelf

Donavon Frankenreiter - Move by Yourself

I remember those times
When they said I couldn't make it
I told them I couldn't just do what they wanted and fake it

They said they'd be shocked if I could find another place to go
And you know they said if I left I'd just be all left alone
And then a friend said

Don't stop doing what you believe in
Don't let them put you on a shelf
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight

Sometimes they can't forget
Forget just what you've got
But don't ever be no, no
Somebody that you're not
When there's a choice you've got to make
Do what you feel, don't hesitate
You know I will never, never forget what a friend said
His words keep ringing in my head
He said

Don't stop doing what you believe in
Don't let them put you on a shelf
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
I said you've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
Oh move on, move on baby

Move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight
You've got to move by yourself, move by yourself tonight

and so ends another chapter in yet another book...

well, i have had two relationships since my divorce 5 years ago. the first is very well chronicled here on my blog... the second, well, not so well chronicled, BUT if you go back and read some of the things i wrote in about my first relationship, you would see some very striking similarities.

anyway, i'm at the last page of the last chapter of this book called relationship #2, and although ending very differently, it's still ending. this time, my choice, although my reaction to HIS choices is what made me make this choice to end it. and i must say, i feel better than i have in a while. i have spent time with my family, my grandson in particular, and i have been just a bit more stress free, thank God... just waiting now for him to get all of his and his daughter's things from my home for me to finish the chapter and close the book...

so, what will the next book that i write be about? all this drama is starting to get old... i think my next book will be a comedy!! :-)
