A Taste of Me: Voice of a Soul

VOICE OF A SOUL

Illuminating life with my looks and my smile
Hypnotizing and mesmerizing souls like the innocence of a child
One of every kind, but original and complete
I am sexy, single, scandalous...and unique

Living my life to satisfy me
Making my rules if the way it's going to be

Appreciating and purifying the air with every breath I take
Gracefully and respectfully, I accept the history I make

Head held high with a deep attitude
Not bowing down to anyone -- this is my mood

Living and moving with grace and passion
Influencing trends and establishing precedence with every action

One of many...still unique

Tempting as sin; sweet as honey
Ripe as a fruit, but more precious than money

I don't abuse, misuse, or try to confuse
I simply break hearts, and give people the blues

Many try to identify with me, but their goal shall never be
I'm sexy, single, scandalous...and unique

The Sky's silver lining on a cloudy day
I steal conversations and turn heads my way

The essence of love and beauty of mahogany
I'm full of style and accentuated by class -- naturally

I rejuvenate and contemplate the thoughts of many minds
Don't front, break my rules, or try to steal the spotlight from my lines

Creating, exemplifying, and defining the mold
I am the legendary story that's destined to be told

I am Sexy
I am Single
I am Scandalously-Unique
I am...!

PSA: Friendly vs Friends

Remember in Boomerang where Halle Berry's character said she was tired of men treating "love" like it was disease? I feel her on that and also how they treat the word "friends" when they should be using the word "friendly." They must think being "friends" picking up a ball and tossing it somewhere. "Love" and "friends" are words of weight; not to be thrown around loosely, lightly, or recklessly...especially 'true' love and friendship.

So, for those confused souls who don't know the difference between being 'friends' and being 'friendly' and definitely for those who try to use 'friends' as a part of their game and still don't know the difference. Allow me to focus the spotlight...

Being FRIENDLY is when I act like I love you and don't want to [insert verb here] you.

Being FRIENDS is when I do love you and won't let anyone else [insert verb from above here] you.

Get it right, not twisted. We don't have to be friends...and I don't have to be friendly to you, either.
