Just a ghost
(Based on "Ghost" by Fefe Dobson
I'm a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
Once a girl in a photograph
but can I ever get me back?
Or become just a memory
not my real identity.
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
will I lose the gift of being me
let the real me get away
let being real become a dream
and live only in misery
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost
Got to be out
but now I'm not
Don't want to let Dorothy go
cause she is my soul
I had a name
fought the fight
now I wonder if I'll ever get it right
feel the shame
live the lie
praying to God in the middle of the night
I'm scared I will become a ghost
once all my dreams were oh so close
But my fears have made me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
I'm scared I will become a ghost
not true, not true
Please God no
My fears make me start to fail
will the real me disappear?
Be a go-go-go-ghost
just a go-go-go-ghost (repeat and fade)

Just a ghost
A most beautiful, yet haunting poem.
May Your Light Forever Shine
May Your Light Forever Shine
*Sigh* So sad
That Fefe Dobson went so generic with her latest album. I loved her 2003 release, and had SUCH high hopes for her, but now she's just your typical pseudo-hip hop pop artist.

thanks Melanie
I like this song, but I dont know anything else she has done.

It always feels odd...
...to hit the 'good story' button on a song or a poem of yours; not because it isn't good...it always is. But to say good or not with something so personal and powerful? More like,
"I'm a better person today for having read this" button?
"I wish I knew what to say because it hurts so bad" button?
A "Thank you for showing me that I'm not the only one who feels like this" button?
Thank you for sharing your soul with me today, Dorothy. I pressed as many buttons as I could find.
Dio vi benedica tutti
Con grande amore e di affetto

Love, Andrea Lena
thank you, Andrea
I'm sorry this one's so dark. I may try and add some hope in it ....
