I Wonder Where You're Going, I've Seen Where You've Been!

Where Are You Going? I've Seen Where You've Been! Where are you going and where have you been? You've learned nothing at all from all that you've seen You don't care who you hurt, you don't know what love means Ain't it funny how life never is as it seems? You've been hurt and now you ignore the pain So many times you think you're going insane There's no way to stop it now, no end to your game And one day you'll know there's no one else you can blame With all of your lies and the way that you flew It's hard to believe you're the girl that I knew With the life that you've led and with all you've been through Did you ever wonder what'll become of you? My fine feathered lover, watch out, beware Your flight path is less a circle than a square You've turned all the sharpest corners and cut them all clean Tell me, where are you going and where have you been? You used to be such an innocent girl Your beauty once shined like the whitest of pearls You love to get sun-tanned while laying on the lawn But now it is raining and your color's all gone You'll find yourself living out in the street Then a pimp will find you and you'll kiss his feet He'll use you and sell you till you're no good anymore Then you'll realize what you've become is a whore Where are you going? I've seen where you've been Now you've spread your legs and let them all in Do you know what you're doing? I think it's a sin But you'll keep on doing it again and again You dance around like a sweet high class queen You're sleeping habits are completely obscene Burning your sheets has become a daily routine I wonder where you're going, I've seen where you've been
				wz0zzz@yahoo.com Cold As Ice I'm a very poor man My pockets are empty, look not even a cent All I have left is my room And I'm bein' evicted 'cos I can't pay the rent I just can't pay the price The air has gone stale and I'm facing banishment This room is as cold as ice Hey, does anybody got another room for rent? The warmth has been shut off There's ice on the bed springs and it's four months till May I want a permanent loft And when I move in I won't ever stray I'd love a bed that's soft And a landlord that won't throw me out in the cold One that will say "Love's enough Here's the key, this room is free; Love is worth more than gold"   I Wish I Wasn't Me I've always been the good guy And everyone I meet would like to be my friend But of all the people in the world I wish I wasn't me I would take instead of give I'd never fall in love again, I'd be one of the users Never again one of the losers If I just wasn't me I could take my life and stop this pain If I didn't have to face myself, face the inner me My soul's too strong to defeat Oh God, please let me be If I wasn't me I could ignore her and forget this loss But I'm not quite strong enough Love's always been my boss Now I can't take it anymore I am losing all my sanity And the acid in my stomach Is burning out my brain Silence is all around me now I wish the peace surrounding me would enter I'm certain I would feel better I wish it would flow through me But nothing more will ever enter No love, no peace, no one will ever touch me I'll never let another rogue Cut what's left of me How can I ever be your friend? You told me it was because I am who I am That you could tell me all these truths Oh God, I wish I wasn't me! Cold As Ice It all ties together when I was in college and my girlfriend left me for another guy. It was the day of mid term exams when I received a letter from her just before going to class for an exam. Everything was swirling around in my mind after reading the letter. I left class before the exam started, went to the library and wrote this poem. So much for my college education, but I did learn some important lessons in life.

Help a Struggling Poet - Help a Poet get his poetry published if you can Joyce Carol Oats & Bob Dylan "Where Are You Going? I've Seen Where You've Been!" was inspired in part by a short story written by Joyce Carol Oats called "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" and the song "Like A Rolling Stone" written by Bob Dylan. Joyce Carol Oats dedicated the story to Bob Dylan because she'd been inspired to write the story after listening to his song "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". We were reading "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" in my college English class not long after my girlfriend had sent me a "Dear John" letter. It was not written to follow the original short story. The Midi music file playing on this page is "Like A Rolling Stone" Copyright 1965 Renewed 1993 Special Rider Music Originally performed and written by Bob Dylan. The original recording by Dylan is from Highway 61 Revisited, released in 1965 on Columbia records.   Help a Struggling Poet Save A Starving Poet - Help a Poet if you can Bob Dylan - I believe this is the official Bob Dylan website Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone - Lyrics to the song "Like A Rolling Stone" Bob Dylan - It's all over now, Baby Blue - Lyrics to the song "It's all over now, Baby Blue" Joyce Carol Oates - Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? - Dedication Of Joyce Carol Oates Short Story To Dylan Joyce Carol Oates - Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? - Read the complete Short Story for Bob Dylan here Unofficial Joyce Carol Oates website - There doesn't seem to be an official website for Joyce Carol Oates, but I have read that she likes this site Future Link - Coming soon Help a Struggling Poet
