Define Me

I opened my dictionary, to open myself to you...

AND

You defined me as weak, easy, prey

Naïve, desperate, attached
That's how you perceived me.
But your love didn't define me.
The lack of compassion you showed - refined me.

I have learned to keep my words to myself,
With my definitions well kept.

I no longer allow you to define me.
I'll keep the diction that comprises me,
Inside of me.

No longer will I let the words of love, or you, or sporadic dreams define me.

Define Me

[Music] John Forte - Play My Cards for Me

"I stood atop the mountains and saw you down there in the canyon...."

I love this song for everything it is and that it offers!!! I came across this song on the GREATEST WEBSITE since Google, 'thisisrealmusic.com'. It's from a singer/songwriter by the name of John Forte, and his voice and delivery is very smooth. This song is deep and meaningful while still being upbeat. You can dance, cry, and laugh to this song... It's just one of those songs for any day.



Sometimes I feel like I need someone to play my cards for me, to take control when I want to ride in the backseat.... someone to watch out when I fall asleep! Another reason I like this song is because it can be related to a relationship, friends, family, work... ANYTHING! I call this my universal song for 2010!

"Well if I fall asleep, play my cards for me, it wouldn't bother me...."

Random Thoughts, Lyrics and Inspirations... Part Deux

Dreamer-         
 Lost little love. You have no direction, let me write your life. Then I'll read you your past, present and future - as a bedtime story!

Untitled-
  My heart isn't weak enough to break, but it isn't strong enough for your games....

Maya Angelou-
 "PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL."
-So make sure you make those around you feel special!

Fearless in Tears-
  I'm no longer afraid to cry.... I use my tears to wash away the dirt left by your lies, that left alone clouded my life!

[Music] Alicia Keys - Wake Up

"When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pain
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make up and go back again
It's never too late
But it's been too long
Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong
Gotta get out of bed
And take a look at what's going on"

If you know me it's definitely not hard to tell that I'm a huge Alicia Keys fan. I was listening to her discography the other day and came across 'Wake Up" which is my favorite song from her Diary album. A song thats definitely relatable to when you're in a relationship that you know is going south, but you want to try and salvage what you can.... this should be your anthem! I love the lyrics, but the music and the stringed instruments accompanying her piano add a nice and dramatic flare.!

"When we gonna wake up baby?
When it's time for lovin'
When we gonna wake up my baby?
Before it's too late?"

[Music] Alicia Keys - Wake Up

Prodigal Lover-
  "I don't want to be the prodigal lover... but I find myself back with you, content. And you take me back, arsm open - even when I don't deserve. When I think your love for me is dead, you give me a reason to live"

Whats Worst Than Death?-
  "When I die... I want my conscious free and my heart full. Cause the only thing worst than being dead, is being a ghost searching for closure "
