Music For The Soul
I actually first heard this Sara Bareilles song "Gravity" for the first time at the dance studio where I work & I immediately fell in love with the song. I can definietly relate to the song & her voice is so soothing... Here you will see her perform "Gravity" on Stripped, which is one of my favorite shows to see artist perform.
But I'm completely in love with Adele. & I first discovered her through Solange Knowles' blog site. She had a link to one of her performances on there & Solange spoke about this new, up & coming artist who was so talented. & Adele is nothing less than amazing! I watched the video & I ran out to go purchase her debut album titled "19". Her voice is so unique & completely breath taking. Here I have her performing one of my fav songs of her's called "Hometown Glory".

Sestina
I've been struggling with this poem for my creative writing class for about a week now & I finally completed it! The type of poem is called a Sestina & it has a certain out line that you have to follow to write the poem, so it was a little difficult for me. I'm use to just free styling & writing what I feel when I write, so when you start throwing rules at me I get a little frustrated. But I must say I kind of like the finished product. There are six words that have to repeat throughout the poem & in a certain order so let me just give you guys the setup of the poem...
1 2 3 4 5 6
6 1 5 2 4 3
3 6 4 1 2 5
5 3 2 6 1 4
4 5 1 3 6 2
2 4 6 5 3 1
(1 2) (3 5) (4 6)
So there you have how this ish works. & another thing that bothered me is the fact that the poem isn't supposed to rhyme, which feels crazy & insane to me! But here is my first ever Sestina titled "Many Men" which is about going through trials & tribulations within different relationships that lead up to meeting Mr. Right, Prince Charming or whatever you want to call him. LOL!
Sestina/ Many Men
I've been in relationships with many men,
& all that seems to part from their lips are lies,
Plus, they act like it's human nature to cheat,
I end up with a broken heart when what I was searching for is love,
You know, a relationship that's genuine & real,
& only when I find that can my heart be at peace.
I need consistency, stability & peace,
But so much for finding that with these trifling ass men,
I guess I can't expect everyone to be like me & keep it real,
But does 99.9% of the things you say have to be lies?
I was such a sucker for so called “love”,
In some situations I even stuck around after they cheat.
& after being betrayed at some point I'd be the one to cheat,
Thinking that it would bring me some type of comfort or peace,
When in actuality I was stooping to the level of the one I love,
But there was nothing fulfilling about messing with random men,
& now I'm the one feeding all the lies,
When I use to be the one who was always honest & real.
I take it as a lesson & now I can tell the fake from the real,
& if I've been hurt & feel like it's too much, I'll leave before I cheat,
Never again will I put up with all kinds of bull shit & lies,
I'll only settle for a man that will put my heart at ease & at peace,
I've had my share of good & bad men,
So I'll definitely know when I come across real love.
So I think I've finally found my love,
Our bond is indescribable & so real,
It's like he's out of a fairytale & can't be compared to any other men,
He's faithful... Definitely not a cheat,
He makes me feel secure & he's what keeps me at peace,
He's just like a best friend so there's no need for lies.
If I said I wasn't head over heels it would be nothing but lies,
Never in my life, for one individual have I felt so much love,
& I get the love in return so that fills me with joy & peace,
I know this all may sound so mushy, but it's nothing less than real,
If this were a game to win his heart is the only way I'd cheat,
I've got this tunnel vision now, I don't see any other men.
I'll say it again, that I've had my share of many men & their back stabbing & lies,
Who cheat on a regular basis & are incapable of keeping it real,
But I've been through all of that to finally find my love & be at peace.

Trust
It's funny how the way you perceive someone can change with just a few words & trust can go out the window with one wrong action. But as quickly as things can change, the hardest thing you could ever do is regain someone's trust... In the midst of the healing process & not sure if I'll ever be able to trust again...
