Bio
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. ~ Emerson



Skeleton you are my friend,
But you are made of bone.
And you have got no flesh and blood,
Running through you to help protect the bone.

Skeleton we have been friends for years,
And you have seen me through some trials,
And tribulations, and some tears.
But everybody thinks I'm weird.
And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long
Until you, you've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation.
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I don't know what to do.
Skeleton we are so close,
But you have got no body.
So why do you insist on wearing clothes?
Skeleton when we were young,
It was easy.
Even though the other kids,
They would tease me.
But I was only seven, I had you.
But now I'm twenty-two.
And now it's different, when I take you out.
And you, you've got me standing in an awkward position,
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation.
And it's not that I'm letting go of you,
But I don't know what to do.
'Cause sometimes at night,
I dream of the most terrible things.
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed,
And I raise it high,
And I smash your head;
Fibular and tubular
And ribs and cages, too.
In fact, while I'm here
I'll smash the whole of you.

But Skeleton, you are my friend,
And I could never bring your life to an end.
Yes, Skeleton you are, you are my friend.
And I will be there for you until the end.
And even though, when I take you out
You've got me,
you've got me standing in an awkward position.
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation.
I could, I could never let you go
And that is all I know.

~Kate Nash, Skeleton Song~



I am just trying to finish each day a little bit more thoughtfully, and with a little more control.
