Growth

To be where I am you have to learn a lot of things,
To do what I've done you have to go through some things
You have to internalize life lessons and grow from your failures
Make upsets your motivation and excel at doing better

Reflections on the past shows me Ive learned some of life's lessons
While absorbing its painful blows throughout my adolescence
Ive been knocked down more times than I have fingers to count
But every fall gave me the strength to get back up & fight it out

I've learned to take things for face value & leave foolishness behind
Not everyone has my best interest at heart that's why I have to have mine

I am a duck after all so Ive learned to let things roll
Address a problem that really bothers me as it happens but harbor negative feelings, no
I've learned the difference between true friends and acquaintances 

& have managed to keep little of both
For large crowds bring drama & don't allow for much growth To have growth you must be open to all the possibilities of life
Take the strife's with smooth sailing & not think on it twice
This requires maturity & versatility to be successfully attained
And from here on out this is how I'll play life's ball game

The feature presentation

Man time flies, it seems like just yesterday, after we crossed those burning sands our world premier was made
We gave you a sneak preview of exactly what we could do, but now that we've grown, we've added some special effects to enhance your view.
Often times we have the lead role when bringing awareness to you, but when we play the co-star our aware audience increases times two.
You see our main attraction doesn't lie in getting recognition for our deeds, so  we are just fine with being helping hands behind the scenes.
Sometimes we're like a silent film, in which you may see our point of view, but without the closed captions the storyline is oblivious to you.
Using forced perspective we've allowed you to see us one way but don't get us wrong, our cameo appearances disguise how hard we play.
To most bloopers are mistakes but ours are memories made, together we're a never ending magic hour that brightens anyone's day.
Now that we've turned one, the sequel has just begun, no cliff hanger needed because our work is never done.
Since news travels best word of mouth we just wanted you to know, that we gladly accept the academy award for being the best in show.

yes i can

so im doing this new thing where im trying to post at least once a week but uh yeah.. its turning out to be a little harder than i thought it would be.  But im gonna get focused and continue to push myself to meet my goals, the same way im pushing myself to complete insanity... pray for me

A welcomed change

Some times you meet people & they are around for a moment/
some stay forever & some don't know when to go with the wind as it blows & the seasons as they change/ the alloted  time has passed & its a new day/
then there are those you get by "default"ncause fate brought you together/then encouraged you to build a bond that you've been instructed should last forever...
Now we all have people that fall into the seasonal drifts/
but we all aren't as fortunate as I/who has found the kind from the fate driven line/
through fate I met 18 individuals/different yet the same with qualities incomparable to that of the seasonal lames / these fate driven ones have made so much in life better/
without them I would've never learned about myself as I waded  through different weather/ strengths & weaknesses, accomplishments & failures/ these 18 are a back bone regardless of the weather.
Now some may have fate driven friends/referred to just as that/
but mine are more than that, they are sisters & with that/ they are happiness & sadness, joy & pain, upsets & pick ups/ resulting in memories that last always/
so while you have your friends, I'll have my line/
& you better believe that my sisters trump your friends hands down at any time.

I find

Im not one to talk much about love but I find myself engulfed in thoughts of pure lust
Lust for the love I want in my life & lust for the feelings that I want to arise
I find myself longing for a touch, or a taste,
longing for a kiss or for that head over heels feeling accompanied by love to embrace
I find myself wanting intellectual intimacy that connects us better than that which comes physically
I find desires of such intimacy becoming breathtakingly real to me.
Night dreams become day dreams that become fantasies leaving my mind in a heightened frenzie
I find myself  entranced in your could be physique, your aura, your aroma, and how it would tantalize me
I find myself seeing myself in a light unseen, having deminished my hard exterior becoming vulnerable for your eyes to see, synonymous to a new born baby bearing all my perfect imperfections so you can really see me.
I find that such desires more than likely will go unseen for the quality of those charged to fulfill them have diminished to levels of utter disbelief.

Finally

FINALLY I HAVE COME BACK TO MY BLOGSPOT!!!!!
