  • life of Janis Joplin

    the first lady of rock and roll
    heart of gold and bluesy soul
    born in Texas to an engineer
    sang in choirs before her career
    rebelled in school, hated the fashion
    rock and roll always her first passion
    went to college to lead  "normal life"
    wasn’t meant for her, caused her strife
    moved to the Bay, to find success
    didn’t work out, overcome by stress
    New York next but due to drugs
    headed home, lost girl needing hugs
    tried again to live as others live
    quickly knew she had more to give
    was soon discovered, rose to fame
    ended too quickly, crying shame
    October 4th, 1970 Janis Joplin died
    27 years old, world of music cried
    drug overdose brought her crashing down
    a woman of peace,  “hippie with a crown”
    forever remembered, lady with bluesy soul
    rest in peace first lady of rock and roll
