Had a bad yesterday and I am doing fine now. Thanks to the people who even bothered to say "Hi" to me. It was smile a for each one.

I was shaking yesterday . . . I don't know why, it's a feeling I get after seeing any old people that I knew double crossed me or played me. I hated that feeling, and just broke down last night.

MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY ESCAPE.

People have weed, alcohol, caffiene, work, life, suicide, etc as their choice of how to handle stress or issues. For me, music has always relaxed me; I have a playlist just for helping me just chill out and get things through.

I stumbled upon a remix I heard awhile back and decided to download it. The lyrics are deeper than you can hear. Take a listen.

Beautiful (Black Star Remix) - Mary J. Blige, Mos Def, Talib Kweli

BEAUTIFUL [BLACK STAR REMIX]- Mary J. Blige, Black Star (Talib Kweli & Mos Def)

[Hook: Mary singing with words by Black Star]
Yes you are (Sometimes you just meet someone and you just completely...)
You're so beautiful
Here we go... come on
Absolutely [fantastic], Now you're near
Absolutely [fantastic], In my life
[Fantastic] All my fears
[Fantastic] Beautiful
[Fantastic] Come to me
[Fantastic] Now I am
[Fantastic] Someone watching over me Fantastic

[Mos Def]
I dream't that I could paint you with words
But there were no colors bright enough
Black or white enough
Blue or green enough
It didn't mean enough
You are the star that touched the earth
Shine bright for all eyes to see
Radiate and touched me
Now I'm shining like you do
It was dim before I knew you
Bright light for weeping eyes to get used to
Trust who?
That's some shit to adjust to
Soon as you relax, they ease back and cold bust you
Love murdered in Brooklyn, sound the alarm!
But you still remain calm, my passion is unarmed
I tried to practice my whole life tactics
But in your clutch and your touch, my armor just collapses
Such bliss breeds obliviousness
So recollect sweet breath still wet on my lips
My prayer's this: Go protect my beloved and keep her covered
From the valley to the summer like the land undiscovered
(like the stars, outnumbered . . .)

[Hook]
[Mary]
Beautiful, now you're near in my life all my fear
Beautiful, come to me, now I am, someone watching over me
[Black Star]
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
I do all my best so I could be true to you
Ain't nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you
Everything ordinary, Everything usual
Like the stars outnumbered, you are so beautiful
Where I stand on a distant land, understand who I am, that makes me a man

[Talib Kweli]
You know what, they say that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
So I use my third, and now our love the silent like a boulder
Want to be with you as I get older
And that's my word, sure as I stand on my ancestors' shoulders
You see through my drama and my world like a stage
Not the same years but living in the same age
Just the quality,
Not the quantity
Follow me
Definitely
Far from probably
Got to be
You and me
Beautifully, fit like pieces of the man I used to be
Now I'm back cause of what you do to me
You like my reflection, better half to my whole
Like lyrics to the beat, you the mate for my soul
The breath for my life, my sister and my lover
Used to have cold feet, now you the one under my covers
I can't ignore your aura but it grabbed me by the hand
Like the moon pulled the tide and the tide pulled the sand

[Hook][with ad-libs]
Go ahead, Mary, baby, sing your song
Ooh, so beautiful
That dream that it would be so beautiful
I wanna say that I love you
All the love you give, all the love you give to me
All my days and nights, were lonely
And it's so beautiful
And now I have a friend that I can talk to, yeah
Boy, you're so beautiful

[Mos Def and Kweli be switching back and forth . . .]
Because you're fruitful, beautiful
Smart, lovable, huggable, doable like art
Suitable to be part of the cosmos
With my eyes closed, I see you clearly
Combined lifetimes with like minds, your lovelight shines
Bright the apple of my eyesight
The tender kiss that wet my appetite
My mighty Aphrodite, the flame that ignite me
Your name just excite me
Your eyes so alive they aright me
Cause you are so beautiful
You don't even know the length I would go
To make absolutely sho' you is respected and protected
And never neglected, I hope my prayers is accepted
That you always will be watched over
And never rocked over
And if you need me to, I'll stop over
To check on you, I'd never jet on you
I know a lot of foolish cats that slept on you
But what I'm gonna do is be totally committed
If you need me I'll be hotter than the New York minute
With a hundred percentage, from the start to the finish
Cause the vibe you give leave me so replenished
It's a new beginning, this is serious business
Got my heart and soul in it
It's the way that I'm living
Let it be known that I'm devoted, it's always going to prevail
The newly risen, truly living universal for real
It's like that y'all, and ya don't stop.
It's like that y'all . . .

[Mary]
You're the only love I know, Beautiful
You're the only love that knows, Beautiful
You're the reason why I live, Beautiful
You're the reason why I want to give you everything, Beautiful

...Since you came into my life

Poem 1 for Public View:

I Will Always Here (Dreams)

I never left you
People always leave me
Through disrespect and/or ignorance

I would never leave you
I may go my ways
But realize it's for the both of us
That I am doing what I am

It's too soon to create something so precious,
As with a relationship
So why the rush?

We both got our goals,
So why not just . . .
Do what we have to?

I blame our culture for making us individualistic
But it's for that,
That we come to see we as people,
Can do anything

My dreams are big, and so are my ambitions
I am sorry if I put them before you
But I have worked my whole life for reaching that plateau

To redefine who I am, to be remembered for who I was
I am never eternally happy
Because I see too much
Of what needs to be changed

And I would never intentionally hurt you
Though I know I was not the man I am today
I never regret anything I did
Because I have learned . . .

And I cannot guarantee a promise
And I cannot guarantee I will be there to hug you
But I can guarantee
I will always be here for you

Through the trials and tribulations
Love and life
I do not hold grudges
Because for love, I would do anything

Through all that we have and we will share
Know I will always be here

I will watch over you
As long as you remember me
I am not perfect
But it is the imperfections, that make people perfect.

Our story will continue,
Perhaps a part two?

. . .

"I am a man who makes mistakes, but to keep you I would do all it takes."- Tupac Shakur

Oh man, looks like I need to refresh some damn people to get their LIVES STRAIGHT, and to get their, HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS.

POETICS + EMOTIONS + PERSONALS = Poetry In Motion.

I SPEAK OF ONLY WHAT I BELIEVE IS TRUE; I cannot speak for anyone else besides me, so indulge in this poetic advice . . .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IT'S NOT A REALITY (Drama)

Drama does not just happen!
NO, drama is not "YOUR LIFE"
DRAMA happens because you CHOOSE to be part of it
What then, CAUSES DRAMA?

PEOPLE!

People that are WEAK and FRAY
People, that are searching for answers, but ARE NOT WILLING TO TRY
PEOPLE that CAN'T THINK of better things do to do
PEOPLE that just complicate human life as it is,

When it is already SO DAMN COMPLICATED!

Why is it then, that YOU choose to be part of this CIRCLE?
YOU HAVE ALREADY MOVED ONTO ADULTHOOD;
What is it worth, to act like an IMMATURE high school kid again?

Don't disappointment me with your stories of struggle and pain,
WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE OBVIOUS ANSWERS, RIGHT in front of you!

YOU KNOW BETTER
Yet, every other move you make
YOU MAKE HARDER FOR YOURSELF

CUT THOSE PEOPLE OFF!
You will then BE DRAMA FREE
"SAY WHAT?"

Yes, cut those ties to THOSE PEOPLE.
THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS;

Would friends WASTE YOUR TIME, DISTRACT YOU, AND CONFUSE YOU?

GET YOUR LIFE STRAIGHT
You ALREADY have enough to deal with
From FAMILY, LIFE, AND YOURSELF

YOU ARE YOUR OWN MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE SOLVED

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS
DRAMA IS NOT A REALITY!
You can pull yourself out it,

NOBODY NEEDS DRAMA!

DRAMA! IS NOT A PART OF LIFE!
DRAMA! Is what separates the truth from the generic.
DRAMA! Is what separates the FOCUSED from the DESPERATE.
DRAMA, is A CHOICE YOU MAKE.

Is it those IGNORANT, LOWLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, that make life complicated as it is.

YOU ARE SMART; EVERY HUMAN BEING IS
BUT, are you going to ruin YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCEEDING,
Just because YOU CHOOSE, to be part of something,
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN?

Please be real to yourself, stop ignoring the issues, and HANDLE THEM.

WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE PEOPLE THAT HOLD YOU BACK, YOU SET YOURSELF [AND YOUR MIND] FREE. DRAMA HAPPENS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE'S STUPID DECISIONS; SO BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS. TO BE DRAMA FREE, IS TO BE HAPPY.

I have been DRAMA FREE since my Junior year in high school, and I have been happy, and grateful, with my life since.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Inspiration:
My personal issues with PEOPLE that I wouldn't think I would need to write this poem for, but either way, my own, and other peoples' experiences. I don't want to say, grow up fast, but with so many things that are going on nowadays, EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE. Drama will hold EVEN THE BEST OF PEOPLE, from ACCOMPLISHING THE BEST. Peace.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
http://www.blogthings.com/whatdoesyourbirthdatemeanquiz/

***Your Seduction Style: Fantasy Lover***


You know that ideal love that each of us dreams of from childhood? That's you!
Not because you posess all of the ideal characteristics, but because you are a savvy shape shifter.
You have the uncanny ability to detect someone's particular fantasy... and make it you.

You inspire each person to be an idealist and passionate, and you make each moment memorable
Even a simple coffee date with you can be the most romantic moment of someone's life
By giving your date exactly what he or she desires, you quickly become the ideal lover.

Your abilities to make dreams come true is so strong, that you are often the love of many people's lives.
Your ex's (and even people you have simply met or been friends with) long to be yours.
No doubt you are the one others have dreamed of... your biggest challenge is finding *your* dream lover.


What Kind of Seducer Are You?
http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofseducerareyouquiz/

***You Are The Lovers***


You represent ideal love: innocence, trust, exhilaration and joy.
You demonstrate the harmony of opposites, two sides coming together.
At times, you also represent the struggle between what is right and what is tempting.
Control is an issue for you, especially when you don't know your reasons for choosing something.

Your fortune:

You have an important choice you need to make about love, and it will be a difficult choice to make.
You are likely struggling between the love you crave and the love that is right.
In the end, you will choose what you crave, even if it's bad for you.
Because without what you crave, you will feel empty and incomplete.


What Tarot Card Are You?
http://www.blogthings.com/whattarotcardareyouquiz/

For her, I love her and care for her, but I guess she's already in love...

I know I can’t be your man,
I can’t be the guy you’ve dreamed,
But let me at least show you who I can be.
I can be your friend,
Your support,
Your guy you can turn to for a good joke,
But most of all,
Your tissue when you cry,
And your pillow when you rest.
I can be whatever you want me to be,
But still,
I’m me.
Now split by my choices,
Where to go?
I’ve walked this lonely path my whole life,
I know but,
Then again I don’t.
And I want to be with you,
But since I know it’s not fair,
I understand that to Love is to let go,
I care.
And I don’t want to hurt you
Or make you feel guilty at all,
It is my fault,
My wrong.
I never expected to ever fall in Love again,
And especially not with such a great friend.
But the feelings turned around,
Rekindled back to me,
It was all so sudden,
But yet all so sweet.
And like you said,
“feelings are not legit”
I stand by you on that one,
Cause my feelings are being pieced together,
Bit by bit.
And my senses have been shattered,
Knowing that it’ll never be,
It may though,
Maybe.
I wish I told you sooner,
Cause now I’m crying,
And it’s not the pain that’s making me die,
It’s my heart telling me to wait just a little longer.
I’m not that patient,
True Love takes time...

And are you the one?
Cause it feels like it.
I wish, we’ll always be friends,
I never said I ever regretted meeting you,
It was heaven,
So clear together,
As our friendship grows,
The True Love I have,
Will continue also.

I Truly Love You,
Though we may never be together.
Our Friendship...
