In My Eyes

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see

When I look into my eyes
I see determination and an ever driving force,
A need to be heard

When I look into my eyes I can also see pain
I see pain and a hidden fear
What could that fear be?
I don’t know you tell me
I see love and a need to help others
A need to feel loved, cared about,
Wanted, and respected

When I look into my eyes I see Me
Candice N. George
What do you see?

To The One Who Cares the Most

Do you promise to always be there for me, as I will be there for you?
Will you stay by my side through the good and bad?
Will you be my shoulder to lean on when everyone else turns away?

In return I will be your rock and pillar of strength
I will support you when others try to bring you down
I will care for you when you can’t care for yourself
I will be your best friend
Your advisor
Your counsel
Your shield

I will be the one you look forward to seeing
I will be the one who fills your dreams
I will be the one who cares the most

Two Different Sides

It's crazy how one thing can be so important and
meaningful to one person,
But can mean absolutely nothing to another

It's wild how in one person's eyes something
can be viewed as a serious subject but
in the eyes of another it is nothing more than a joke

Life presents you with many different situations
Some people have the power to see deeper into an issue than others
They can understand that there are two sides to everything

They can see that everything affects people in different ways
There are pro's and con's in life and everyone shares
a different view

I guess all you can do is brush off
those serious matters that others consider a joke
--Even if it hurts you inside

Human Nature

It is in our own nature to know what we deserve
To know what we can earn
To know when we’ve made mistakes
To know when we’ve made them rite
To see those who can make it better
And yet we still block them out
We see the people who do care about us
And we blind ourselves with the past
We want to let go
But then feel obligated to hold on
Hold on to the negativity
Hold on to what could have been
And possibly what should have been
But what human nature doesn’t understand is that if it’s gone, then its gone
If it doesn’t come back soon after
Then it is time to let go
Time to heal ourselves
Time to figure out how else we can make ourselves happy
But human nature is hurt and blinded
And though someone else starts our pain

No More?

They say don't feel no way
Don't take it to heart
Don't stress the rest
Cuz you're in your rightful place
By his side
You got it locked down
And can't never be replaced
But deep down, I know That just isn't true

And I gotta think
Gotta worry
Gotta stress
And I gotta wonder why
Cuz they got a part of him that I may never get
And it brings tears to my eyes
And tightens up my insides
Everytime I think about it

Think about them
And him

In My Eyes Remix

Look into my eyes
Try to see what I see
View the world through my eyes

See the hurt of war stricken families
The pain of poverty filled streets
See the racism and discrimination all around us

See the competition
Survival of the Fittest
Will you make it out alive?

See the eagerness of children in the ghetto
Hear their cry to get out
Their plea for a better life
Watch mothers desperately trying to provide
Hustlin’ and selling their bodies for a decent meal

Look into my eyes
See those better off

I give and I give

I give and I give
Over and Over again
Til it hurts me so bad that i juss wanna die

My happiness only lasts but so long
No matter what brings it on it always fades away
I dont understand why is it here and I cry
Over and over again

I just want the hurt and the pain to go away
I want it to all just dissappear
I can't take it anymore

I feel like i'm going crazy
Being strong is hard
It's a tedious job

Trying to help others
nd then getting stabbed in the back
Is a painful process

Beautiful

I am beautiful
Not only because of the curve of my hips
Or the shape of my body
Not only because of the fullness of my lips
Or the curl of my eye lashes

I am beautiful because I want to be
I am beautiful because God made me that way
I am beautiful because in my eyes
There is no one more beautiful than me

I am beautiful because I have a heart
And that is a beautiful thing
I am beautiful because I have a brain
And that is a beautiful thing
I am beautiful because I give advice
And that is a beautiful thing

I am beautiful because I want to be
I am beautiful because God made me that way

The Real Strength of a Woman

Everyone wonders what’s her secret?
The mother with 3 kids and no father to support them
The woman with cancer who still manages to come out on top
The grandmother who is forced to be a mother yet again because
Of her daughters mistakes

I wonder myself and I still have a long way to go
But I believe that they all have one thing in common….
The Real Strength of a Woman

The ability to shield themselves from the hurt while in others view
The ability to make their children believe that everything will be ok
The ability to make everything ok despite their hurdles
The ability to stay close to God despite how difficult it may seem
The ability to be strong and remain a brick wall for their loved ones

A real woman can console others even when she is worse off
She can find it in her heart to somehow give, even when no one is giving her
She can endure many hardships and sacrifices because of the ones she loves
Yet she somehow still remains strong

When the Odds r Against u

12/12/08

Sumtimezz u juss wanna escape this crazy place called life
Shyt juss starts getting too rough
Livin juss seems to tough
Why shuld u go on?
If ur up against all da odds?
If dey got ya back against the wall
Pushin u lower, Showin u farther
Got u feelin like ur not much more than the dog shyt nd piss sittin beside ya

U wanna jump off a roof
Juss drink nd smoke til u go poof!
How r u supposed to look at the guud life?
Think about wat da future holds?
If da present life juss aint worth thinkin bout
It aint worth thinkin bout da future
Dreams become deferred

Shyt juss blows up in ya face
