Spit

How do I learn to trust?
To know it is beyond lust?
My gut tells me to go
because I already know
Another man is done
just as I've begun

I put on this facade
Pretend I'm not flawed
Hold my head up high
Give it my best try
What else should I to do?
When faced with a shrew

I don't want to stay guarded
To avoid getting discarded
But when there's a risk to take
My foot is hovering the brake.
I want to be ready
For a hand to hold steady

Pick myself up again
Know it's not all men
I'll keep changing
And rearranging
Rome wasn't built in a day
My skies are far from grey
At least one things for sure...

The pattern is broken
I'm not so soft spoken
At the rate of things
I'll get some strings
I want them attached
To whom I am matched

Don't Know

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey, you know me, it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh, and I found myself listening

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See, I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you aren't leaving without a fight
And I think, I am just as torn inside

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than any one I, I've ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself
And so I say to you, this is what I have to do

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood

Open Pose

 

My new kuan yin statue, her name translates to "Observing the Sounds (or Cries) of the World." The one on the right was given to me and has traveled a bit, and now she will be traveling onward to another woman in need of her mercy. I love my new one's relaxed and open pose, expressing how I feel I have transformed since I was originally given the first one.
