Family family, we are one?

'Heart don't fail me now, courage don't desert me, don't turn back now that we're here. People always say life is full of choices, no one ever mentions fear. Or how the world can seem so vast .... One step at a time, One hope then another. Who knows where this road may go. Back to who I was, on to find my future, things my heart still needs to know. Yes, let this be your sign, let this road be mine .. and bring me home, at last.'

As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
But you'll see every day
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one

Here I stand

On this road that I travel alone

The walk was easier when it was one big road

Now there are many

Which to choose

Which to path to take

I have no clue

Each path comes with its hurdles

With its own mountains and hills

And many rivers to cross

Maybe I will find companions on my journey

People to offer their two cents

And maybe I won't

I don't know

The only thing I know

Is that I'm hard pressed for time

And everyone breathes down my neck

Decisions.... Choices

People are waiting

To hand over their load

People are eager to know

If I pick the path they think is right

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

Things were easier when I was younger

Things were simpler

I miss playing in the sandbox

And with the little fishes in the pond

I miss taking walks through the garden

Talking about being a doctor today

And about being an architect tomorrow

I was confused then

I am confused now

Can I be a comedian?

Can I be a writer?

Can I be a seamstress?

Can I really be whatever I want?

Or were you all just pulling my legs?

The decisions I have already made

I cannot reverse them

The decisions I will make

Depend on those I have already made

To start over?

Or to continue?

When I fail, when I fall, when I'm sad

How dare you judge me

How dare you chastise me

When the one who is most important to me doesn't

'You can be whatever you want'

'Its your life'

Then why is everyone else asking me..

Why this? Why not that?

When this? When that?

Why did you not do this?

How about you all kiss my ass!

Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun
Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun
All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you needYou will find when you see
We are one

Here I stand

At the point where you last saw me

A little support that is all I ask

Just stand, watch and cheer as I run the race

It cannot be that hard to do

I don't need the stress

And I do not need the drama

You ask.. 'What are you doing?'

I want to ask.. 'What are your children doing?'

You say.. 'Why did you not do this'

I say.. 'Times have changed. Can't you see?'

So I talk to the ones who provide courage

The ones who offer support and advice

The ones who call in to say 'How do you do?'

With them.. I am one

And everyone else can kiss my ass!!

Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one

So mmmm Watcha Say? (Waking Up To Love)

'I've never been this close to anyone or anything. I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams, and I dunno how you do what you do. I'm so in love with you, and it just keeps getting better ...'

He said,

Don't know much about your life

Don't know much about your world

But don't want to be alone tonight

On this planet they call earth

She thought,

You don't know about my past

And I don't have a future figured out

And maybe this is going too fast

And maybe its not meant to last

But what do you say to taking chances

What do you say to jumping off the edge

Never knowing if there is solid ground below

Or a hand to hold

Or hell to pay

What do you say?

There's something scary about jumping of the edge

Not knowing what you're in for or what you're up against

One may argue that you may end up with injuries of all sorts

Injuries that very well could have been avoided

You may even jump to your death

And then get bounced out of  Heaven because 'Heaven dun like suicide'

Most risk-averse people are inclined towards certainty

Simply because with certainty comes direction

And knowing where you're heading is in itself the first step

Agreed -- Direction is key

But no one is a magician or seer

We can't always tell where we are heading

We can only tell what we feel in our hearts

So when someone asks you to take that leap of faith

Reaching out their hand for you to hold

Know that you might not know what is beneath

But as long as that hand is always there

That is probably all you will ever need

So I guess the vital question when someone asks you to leap is..

Will you jump with me, and where is your hand?

Because all the mammoth obstacles become trivialities

Once you have that hand to hold

So mmmmm watcha say?

~ LOL. In ur face, semi-permeable membrane!

Inspired by Gleeeeeeee..hehe... so this is for DJ Nugget, and Busta (sake of my Aunty Adisa thns.. lol.. but remember, no hand = no jump oh!), and DD, because you love 'mmm watcha sayyyy'.

I'll like to share with you a 'cliff-railing' anology.

So imagine you were on a cliff, at the edge of the cliff, and you wanted to see what was down that cliff. Most people would not get too close to the edge if there was no railing, for fear that they could easily fall off..and wouldn't that be disastrous?

However, imagine the edge had safety railings? People would probably be more inclined to lean on the railing and peer down, forgetting that the railings might infact be weak and rickety... next thing you know you're falling to your death.

I'm not going to explain, because it could apply to any and everything, and I'm kinda hungry right about now..lol.. so ya, thats just something to think about... and I am going on a food hunt..toodles!

Happy Wednesday night!

Can of Worms

' Oh here she goes! Watch out boy she'll chew you up.. Oh here she goes! She's a maneater! '

He said 

I am trying to get to know you

You give me nothing but walls
Nothing but barricades and burnt bridges

If only you would give me a chance
I'm not like the others
Talk to me
What are you so scared of?
And why so hesitant?
Why are you the way you are?

She said

It might be a short list of names

But its an endless string of everythings and nothings

I'm sorry for building walls

And I'm sorry for being a hard nut to crack

But I cannot, I do not have the patience

To trust all over again

And I'm not a big pile of lego bricks

That you can fix so easily
I am not your patient, You are not my Doctor

And you are no superman

So I keep watching the phone ring

And I hit ignore
Because I'm not ready to talk and trust

D.D - 'Why is she like that? lol'

S.A.B - ' She's a semi-permeable membrane. She only lets a few in. '

                    LMAO!!

For the 'SQUARE', which is becoming a 'PENTAGON'. hahaha... skype date soon? oui oui oui!

~ Sometimes one must be ready to take chances, with wisdom ofcourse. This is one way of looking at it, my next post will present a different perspective as well... I'll call it 'Defying Gravity'.. or 'What do you say to taking chances', haven't yet decided..

Banging in Gray (Grey), Baby!

'..They say me and you are so different, as different as black and white. We're gonna show them just how coordinated we are, when we do it tonight.... cos we're banging in gray, baby, banging in gray. Black and white go together alright so we do it anyway ... cos black and white make a beautiful sight when we rolling in the hay '

You and I ... Us

Its a connection no one understands

Or maybe they do not try hard enough

But who cares if they do not want to try

As long as you and I are doing the trying

For the truth they must admit

Its Our lives, Our future, not Theirs

They say we are as different as black and white

As different as wind and fire

They forget that wind fans the flame and spreads the fire

A victory for what started as a little flame

Perhaps disaster for everything else around

But we see the beauty in the love tango between wind and fire

Black and White .. Well, Gray is beautiful

So excuse us, Mr. 'Judgemental'

And Miss 'He is no good for you'

We pay you no mind

And for Mrs. 'She is a monumental disappointment'

Well, who cares. Your life is a FailBlog!

Don't you see Doctor 'You guys are going nowhere fast'

That the decision to either go nowhere or somewhere is ours to make?

We don't understand, why no one understands

Its simple really, Its butterflies and electricity

Its in the rush I get when we are together

Like we're speeding on the race track and its not even a race

Formula One , baby, we've got the formula

And we've got the chemistry

So we let them do the math, cos all we have is the solution

Its in the way you tie me, untie me.. make me, break me.. 

Its the pure unadulterated passion

Its in the fierce fire in your eyes when you look at me

That same fierce fire with which you touch me

Temperature Hot Red Unmistakable Unforgettable

Ooooh! They don't know how beautifully we blend

And black and white make a beautiful sight when we're rolling in the hay

So we keep banging in gray
And what can we say, its a definite hit!

'Oh we rolling in the hay, and we no care what nobody wanna say. We no ask if nobody okay.. okay ... For U and ME it is a must, for the I and the I to become the US, and separate the WAS from the IS.'

~ Inspired by Tanya Stephens 'Sintoxicated'

For : All those who just don't care. People will understand when they understand .. when they learn to see the similarities in differences .. opposites do attract after all, its called Magnetism! So the next time anyone is chatting rubbish just tell them, she/he's the north pole, you're the south pole, so clearly there's a reason why u're stuck together.. and if it was me, i'd even add '.. and he/she takes me to the North Pole, can you?' tehehe.. And when they say 'you guys are as different as oil and water, it will never work'.. tell them to add some rice to that mix, now who can say dat 'Angua Mo' is not the ish..lmao..add some sliced onions and spices saf.

ok, i din jus say dat. lolol

The List

'This sh*t was all I knew .. You and me only. I did it all for you, still you were lonely. We could've worked it out.. but its funny how someone else's success brings pain ...'

Style of your hair
Shape of your eyes and your nose
The way you stare, as if you see right through to my soul
It's your left hand and the way that it's not quite as big as your right
The way you stand in the mirror before we go out at night
Our quiet time
Your beautiful mind


Maybe you did see straight to my soul
You knew me better than anyone else
Touched me better than anyone else
Loved me better than anyone else
Its hard to forget you
And your funny little ways
The way you ate your food
The way you crossed your legs


They are part of the list
Things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh
The way you smile or the way we kiss.
I come up with something new

Every single time that I sit and reminisce

My mind drifts into a daydream
I remember the most minute things
Like the way you farrow your brow
Or the way you tap your chin when in deep thought
The way you curl your toes in contentment
The way you hog the duvet
That pretty pout, when you wanted your way
And you always did have your way with me

The way you sweet smell lingers when you leave a room
Stories you tell as we lay in bed all afternoon
I dream of you ever so often
In my mind is where we meet
And when I wake I stare at you asleep
Touching your face

Invading you space

In my mind, I re-live our precious moments
In my mind, you're still asleep
And I am still staring
But life is not as simple
My choices .. Your reactions
Your reactions .. My choices
And everything in between
And somehow it becomes easier to imagine
Than to live

... You'll live in my memories forever more

'Yeah, just ask me how things are coming along, you can tell me that you never heard one of my songs .. As long as you say one day you plan on listening, cos what's a star when its most important fan is missing' (Say Something - Timb ft. Drizzie)


~ Inspired by Neyo's Part of the List 
   For the 571 crew... large screen tv, MTV jams, empty crock pots. lmao. Especially for Mich.. we def killed this song., and everyone else had to suffer for it.
  For Oboshie -- 'too emotional'..lmao,  For DJ Nuggets -- 'I tell u, his ex killed him.'
Oh babs & Mich ... 'I'm gonna need you to say sum'n baybay!'

The little things

The forehead kiss

Your way of saying 'I cherish you'

That gentle pat on the back

Your way of saying 'Well done, dear'

When you hold my hand

Your way of saying 'I got you, babes'

When you pull me close

Your way of saying 'I want you near'

Those little notes I leave under your pillow

My way of saying 'Friendly reminder - you're special'

When I rub my nose against your cheek

My way of saying 'I like the way you smell :-)'

When I sit on your lap and throw my arms around you

My way of saying 'Ah, I'm where I belong'

When I stare at you with that dreamy smile on my face

My way of saying 'Dang! How the hell did I get so LUCKY!'

... And just when I think I most certainly must be dreaming

You show me another fantastic part of you

... And leave me completely speechless

~ So someone woke me up gidigidi.. 'hey u, why haven't you posted anything?'...wdh..u think i dun have a life eh..lmao..

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!! I'm out!

i'll stand by you

Oh why you look so sad

The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now

So much I keep bottled up within

It seems there's no one to turn to

The tears, I fight them

Afraid to come off as weak

Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

Oh, if it was that simple

My burden, you cannot carry

My baggage, no one knows how heavy

No ray of light shines on my darkness

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I yearn for better days

But I don't know how to get there

My past is not the brightest

My life is not the happiest

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

But I've been hurt so many times

Been disappointed so many times

Not only am I fragile

I'm angry and pessimistic

So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Its easier said than done

For I don't want to be the angry person

The one mad that life is going nowhere

Dejected, frustrated, border-line depression

Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you

You don't know my story

You have never walked in my shoes

Some things are best hidden

How can you clean up my hot mess?

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along

Decisions, decisions, so hard to make

And what if I make the wrong choices

What I fail, and keep failing

What if I don't know what to do, where to go

Because even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

A companion, oh that sounds so good

Are you sure, that even if I'm wrong .. ?

Even if its more work to stand by me?

Even when your other options are way better?

Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

I'm scared out of my pants

It's hard to trust

And even harder to take certain risks

I never want to get lost in the dark

And when the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

All this talk

Can you put your money where your mouth is?

Don't deceive me with fairy tales, building castles in the air

For once I let you in, there is no turning back

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you

Don't ever let me go

I won't

Why are you teary eyed?

I'm overjoyed, I'm over-loved, I'm feeling lucky

My broken heart, spread across the skies like Northern stars .. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you  :-)

When someone reaches out to you, knowing very well that you are broken, even when some people think you cannot be fixed, even when you are totally unsure about yourself .. though it might not seem like the smartest thing to do at the time, it may be the best decision you will ever make to grab that person's hand. 

Inspired by 'Stand by You- The Pretenders'
Also, by John Legend - Stay with you. Amazing song, init?

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

Though relationships can get old
They have the tendency to grow cold
We have something like miracle
Yeah, and I'll stay with you

And there will be heartaches and pains, yes there will
But through it all, we will remain
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, and they may go
Through the years I know
I will stay

And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for the lifetime
And I'll stay with you
I will stay with you

This is for all my very good friends. Love you lot. Okay, now go give some one a hug and remind someone that you care.
Happy weekend, everyone!!

A step towards eternity

I'm overjoyed and over-loved and feeling lucky

Like a little boy who's hiding under covers

And looking to discover any way ..

.. to play the part inside his darkened cave

Well the meaning of life ..

.. it starts at the night light

Close your eyes 

I hope you see mine

About a journey of a thousand miles

They say it starts with a step

Not just any step

But a bold step in the right direction

About knowing someone like the back of your palms

I say it starts with a 'hello, how are you?'

So today I finally muster the courage

To say with my lips ..

.. What I think with my mind

Well I've seen a thousand things in one place

But I stopped my counting when I saw your face

Erasing memory, I feel as though ..

..  I'd never seen a face before

Until I saw your eyes ..

.. smiling back at me through my tears

I'd been counting all these years

Now suddenly the thousand things I'd seen ..

.. were nothing more than dreams of you and me

About a journey shared with special company

I say it starts with an invitation

That face, that smile

Stunning, Unforgettable, Irreplaceable

You smile and misery disappears

To own that smile, that’s all i think about

So today I finally muster the courage

To say with my lips ..

.. What I see in my dreams

You and me quietly at a stand still

Fortunately, you will kiss me ..

.. and I'll kiss you back

Fact of the matter is that ..

.. I don't know what the latter is ..

.. that I always wanted to kiss you ..

.. but I always wanted to run from you

Because I always wanted to miss you

And I've always wanted to come for you

I take the first step

A step towards an eternity

And anything life throws at us

We shall overcome

And at the end of the day

All that is left is you and me

Quietly at a stand still

I hear your heart beat

And you hear mine

It beats for you

I finally mustered the courage

To talk with my heart

So... how do you do? 

"Just about the time the shadows call, I undress my mind and dare you to follow. Paint a portrait of my mystery, only close my eyes and you are here with me. A nameless face to think I see to sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone. A heart I swear I recognize is made out of my own devices...." 

~ So its February, apparently the month of love .. or something along those lines, lol. So I've decided that atleast until after the 14th, I'm not writing anything sad .. only 'happy happy joy joy'  stories, lol, to fill you with hope and to celebrate the season of love. Oh, and if you do have that special someone, don't wait for some random day in February to let them know how you really feel about them, say it all the time, so they never ever forget, so they know how special they are, so they know you'll always be there. If you have spotted someone too, look sharp, cos sometimes people focus so much on being logical that they end up missing out on some amazing things in life. They say you never know what you've got till its gone, but here is the thing, sometimes people do not even know that they have lost anything .. but others see it, so no slacking people. Oh, and ladies, don't always wait for a guy to tell you how he feels, time is money, lmao, look sharp. Okay, its a wrap. If you have any special requests, holla!
