I was wearing my hair shor and long
I was wearing my hair short and long,
was sick and healthy,
lived with a man and alone.
Was rich and poor,
happy and forlorn,
travelled much and stayed at home.
Enjoyed a good job and was unemployed.
With many friends and on my own.
Was loved and hated,
had success and failure,
accepted and denied...
Alive...
and one fine morning I will have to die...
