Complex Beauty

"Being beautiful is too complex"

The words speak volumes and they are so true. Many say that beauty is only skin deep, but others believe that beauty comes from within and shines through. In the materialistic and high-tech era we are living in, the line between reality and perception have been crossed. People walk past you everyday, but now instead of acknowledging something as beautiful, you wonder how you can achieve that same beauty.

“Are her breasts fake?” “Did she have a face-lift?” “Is that her real eye color?”

Reality is no longer real.

Could it be that we only see what we want to be instead of seeing what we really are? Look into the mirror—you know what you would change about yourself. Now look again… why?

Read My Mind

"Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind

'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Before you go, can you read my mind?"

-The Killers

"Even if I could read your mind, your mouth would still lie to me." Sometimes we get a glimpse into the souls of certain individuals that we wish to know better, but what do you do when your heart is telling you one thing but your mind can't make any sense of the situation? I am in love with someone, but the feelings can't be spoken.

Half of the time I cannot even figure my own self out, so how in the world would I be able to give insight on someone else? The world tries to make sense of everything by labeling and putting things into context. I have a name so that others can address me. However, my name does not define who I am as a person. When you try to explain the unexplainable, it ends up taking away value and being branded as something cheap.

The best things in life are things that are unexplainable and emotions that are felt. Someone can tell you what love feels like, but until you experience it yourself you will never know the state of ecstasy is exudes. Not everything is meant to be put into words.

Things make sense in my head, but when I try to translate it, I end up being mind-fucked. I want to read his mind because maybe it makes sense in his head. When we are together, I know we both feel the same, but can nonverbal communication last when a world that insisting on verbal commuication?

You're Not Strong Enough For Me

You’re not strong enough for me...

You tell your story and I will tell mine
Put it on paper and you get out shined
Fuck what you say because when it comes down to it, it’s how you deal...
The cards you were dealt were shitty
Aww what a shame, but with me you won't find pity
There is no one to blame

I have been through a lot
I can't say it all
I know I would fall to the thrill of it all
I am not trying to be there when shit hits the wall
You can just wait and I’ll give you a call

You’re not strong enough for me

I have a lot on my mind and you are just trying to see me dying
In my own time I will stand again
Knock me down and reach for my hand
It’ll be there
I been down before and stood back up
Brushed my shoulders off and refilled my cup
I'm tough

Not down with the rough riders
I am a ride-or-die bitch that stays down
Even when you are out on the town
Come home to me and you'll see what you need
I have what you search for
You’ll never find 'em in a cheap whore
You put the key in the door
Shuffle your feet on the floor
Look up, I'm your favorite girl
Throw me on the bed
"I'ma blow ya back out" plays in your head

You’re still not strong enough for me
