Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasures



no matter which way I turn I can never seem to learn

it may be that someday just as a lesson I will burn

I don’t feel guilty about any of this

can I get a witness

so bring your dancing shoes

because life is about doing what we choose

why walk when we can run

I’m just talking about a little harmless fun

play your screaming guitars

shoot for the stars

moan on my Mississippi saxophone

here's to never ever being alone

I have to enjoy myself

even if that means I put my books back up on the shelf

if I have to travel the world

while getting swirled and twirled

and I drink a little too much

feel even if I never touch

let her show me a little too much skin

then brothers and sisters I’m in like Flynn

and that's what I have to do

or, I’ll feel a little more than blue



I am talking about all of life’s sweet little treasures

I'm addicted to Life’s Guilty Pleasures

These lines were thematic:

"Even if for it someday I’ll burn.
I don’t feel guilty about any of this."

I understand, I believe, where you are coming from. I don't agree, but I do understand.

Interesting verse written in rhyme, centered onscreen, beginning each line with a capital letter, and each line is a complete sentence. Hmmm ... wondering why you chose this format.

This line's a fragment: "Even if for it someday I’ll burn." Suggest you tie it to the first line.

This line needs to omit the comma: "Even if that means, I put my books back up on the shelf." Same here: "While getting swirled, and twirled." Ditto here and "then" is "than" in this context: "Or, I’ll feel a little more then blue."

More to be said if you're interested; if not, I'll understand.

Take care.
