Material Girl

I am not a material girl
Not caught up in a material world
They can take all my worldly goods
Cause if I can't have u, I have nothing
You are the beginning to my end
You are the calm in the storm
You are the fire in my soul
Cars, money, houses
Don't represent me
It's what's on the inside
I want people to see
I'm content just being a hippie
Making the world
My canvas
My exploration
My expression of self-love
Cause when it's all said and done
Nobody will remember what you have or had
They'll remember how you treated them
If you gave a dam
Or were you selfish
Self involved
Never lending a helping hand
I'm not a material girl
Not caught up in a material world
All I need is you
Helping me paint the world
With our love

I AM

I am beautiful
I am sweet
I am happy
I am sunny
I am sad
I am the best thing that ever happened to you
I am your worst nightmare
I am caramel with a touch of milk chocolate
I am a gift wrapped up with a nice bow
I am a storm raging within
I am the calm after the storm
I am peace
I am chaos
I am joy
I am solitude
I am sexy
I am all natural
I am free spirited
I am confident
I am giving
I am LOVE

Day 3 into 2010

Last year I made a resolution to write something everyday on my blog. Whether it be poetry or just some random thoughts. This year I decided I would write when I was moved to write because for one thing the flow just seemed better and secondly, it makes much more sense, well to me at least. Three days in and I have done one of the things I said I would start doing last year...just carried it over into this year. If I don't agree with what someone says and it emotionally affects me, I am going to let that person know. I am passive-aggressive, non-confrontational, and easy going which is fine by me but sometimes I don't speak what I feel in order to keep the peace. This in turn causes me to hold on to feelings that I shouldn't have if I just speak what I feel. The good thing is I take a moment and think (analyze for those who really know me) before I speak my mind or from my heart. This way not only do I get to express myself but I don't say anything I feel I will regret later. So far this has worked in a positive way and although it may have caused some hurt feelings on either person's part, it opened even more lines of communication. I realize that this newly way of expressing myself may not always have a positive outcome but at least I will not be carrying around emotional stress that could later on lead to unwanted health issues. Stress is a silent killer that many of us are unaware of and should be made aware of and dealt with as much as possible. With all that being said....Happy New Year and may this one be your best year yet!!!
