My Guiding Lights

Because I have some bad days and my Polyvore friends and followers are my "Guiding Lights" that help me out of the darkness, so I created this set.

I have my days--

Where things aren't all right.

Where I'm stuck in the dark--

And lost without my sight.

But these Angels come--

Spreading their love and light.

These Angels come--

With their Guiding Light.

My Guiding Lights are my friends, my Angels that help me out of the dark. These are the ones that reach out to me with words of encouragement, love, and kindness during my darkest days. These are my friends and Angels that guide me back to the light. And though I'm not completely out of the dark, I have to thank them for all of their love, guidance, and kindness.

My Guiding Lights are those who leave comments of well wishes and a speedy recovery like @chileez, @snowelle,@viktoriasch, @catyraven, @found-herself-in-wonderland-13, and @angiem.

Those who remind you to chase and follow your dreams like @maria-heart, @evermore13, and @annefoster99.

And then there are those Guiding Lights that go the extra distance and who are ALWAYS there when you need them: 

Those like @topo-gigio who goes out of their way to say a kind prayer for you when you need one. 

Those like @chiqiyoly who always reminds you that your well being comes first and that they will always be there to support you. 

Those like @erika-prove and @carola-corana who sends you a message letting you know that you are missed and that they are there for you if you need someone to talk to. Also, reminding you that they are there if you need a friend.

Those like @runners who's just ALWAYS there with a kind message and comment whenever you need one, and who constantly reminds you of how talented and special you are. 

Those like @cindu12 who always reminds you that you are special and an angel, even when you are having a bad day or a bad week. 

Those like @sopranooo who always reminds you of how talented and beautiful you are. 

Those like @debbi-bartelt who reminds you that we learn something new every day, and that we also learn from each other. 

Those like @my-time-is-now and @j-n-a who always has a kind word to say and who always reminds you that you have someone to talk to. 

Those like @elliewriter who always reminds you that you are missed and who's always there ready to pick up where we left. 

Those like @marlenajo-b who always reminds you that you are loved and missed, even when you are away.

You are all my Guiding Lights. I am TRULY blessed to know each and every last one of you! I'm FOREVER grateful to you all.

Thank you for being there for me. I'm honestly speechless. It's just so amazing, so thanks!

To me, you are all true friends. You were there for me when I needed it the most.

Thank you ALL so much for being so amazing, so kind, so loving, so caring, so considerate, so understanding, so incredible!

I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

This set is for all of you!

Also, thanks to all of my followers and to those who have supported me. I really appreciate it!

With all my heart,

Keep Your Composure

Because I was really upset one day and someone close to me told me to "Always keep your composure", so I created this set.

Wipe your tears--

Keep your composure.

Don't show weakness--

Indecent exposure.

Harden your heart---

Your weakness is kindness.

Strengthen your soul--

This world will leave you heartless.

Keep your composure--

Don't let them get you down.

Put a fake smile on--

Don't let them see you frown.

Keep your composure--

Don't let them see you cry.

We live in a cruel world--

Remember an eye for an eye?

So, please protect your heart--

On every occasion.

I've lost my heart--

Way too many abrasions.

Safe in the Shadows

Because popularity is so fickle and overrated, and I've never been a fan of it, so I created this set. Besides, it's "Safe in the Shadows".

They notice my presence--

But they don't miss my absence.

I pop up so quickly,

And I disappear just as fast.

I constantly keep people guessing--

About how long I will last.

That's why I reject popularity--

It's just a thing of the past.

One minute your popular,

And then the next your not.

One minute your famous,

And then your soon to be forgot.

And yet everyone is dying--

To be in that number one spot.

But I'll stick to the shadows--

It's my favorite place.

I don't mind being unrecognized,

Or having a forgettable face.

All I need is my family--

And my friends in this case.

I'm not dying to be popular--

I like my time and my space.

Hollow

Because I was feeling hollow and empty, so I created this set.

Hollow look,

Empty eyes,

A broken heart--

A web of lies.

Empty words,

Yet still kind.

A shallow heart--

A fragile mind.

Distant,

Yet still polite.

No longer an angel--

She's lost her light.

Torn in two--

And not the same.

And one con artist--

Takes all the blame.

Earth Shattering

Because I was having a bad day and I felt like the ground that I was standing on was shaking, so I created this set.

My body aches--

So, my heart is breaking.

My smile looks real--

But I'm only faking.

My feet stands still--

But the ground is shaking.

Don't Fall in Love With Me

Because I'm really hard to love and I'm extremely guarded, so I created this set.

Don't fall in love with me--

I'm a total mess.

Don't fall in love with me--

Trust me, it's for the best.

Don't fall in love with me--

I won't always be around.

And when I disappear--

I don't want to be found.

Don't fall in love with me--

I have a fickle heart.

Don't fall in love with me--

I often fall apart.

Don't fall in love with me--

I only trust a few.

Don't fall in love with me--
No matter what you do.

Don't Look For Me

Don't look for me--

I'm no longer there.

I've lost my way--

And I don't even care.

Don't ask me no questions--

I won't give a reply.

I have nothing to say--

And that's my honest reply.

I'm sick of it all--

I'm no longer caring.

My personal info.--

I'm no longer sharing.

I've put up my walls--

I'm no longer bringing them down.

I've harden my heart up--

I'm no longer around.

Autumn Leaves

Because it's Autumn and I feel like I'm changing just like the Autumn leaves, so I created this set.

Things change,

Just like the Autumn leaves.

People change too--

As we are left to believe.

So maybe I'm changing--

As things start to Fall.

Or maybe I'm just struggling--

With everything and all.

Because I'm changing,

Just like the Autumn leaves.

No longer does my heart--

Lie upon my warm sleeve.

Even more guarded--

Than I was before.

I'm struggling with the Autumn leaves--

That I once ignored.

I've suffered quite a setback while I've been away... Makes it even harder to trust again... Just stay vigilant and always stay aware... Especially from those who aren't who they pretend to be... And as always, trust your instincts.

In the meantime, I hope you are all doing well! If it's Fall where you are, I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Autumn Leaves!

Also, Happy Halloween in advance! In case, I don't find my way back to Polyvore before then. ;)

With love,

xLBx

The Pieces of My Heart

Because I wanted to do a dedication set to my friends/"hearts" here on Polyvore, so I created this set.

The pieces of my heart--

Lies with all of you.

Creating each set--

Helps me cope with the things that I go through.

Each set created--

Keeps a piece of my heart.

To help me out--

On the days when I may or may not fall apart.

But the real pieces of my heart--

Are left with all of you.

Just to thank you all--

For supporting everything that I do.

Thank you all so much for all of your love and support! I really appreciate it!

I have A LOT going on right now... Things that I need to fix... A surgery that needs to be done... Etc...

It's just SO MUCH going on for me. But I just wanted to create a set to say thank you for all of those that have messaged me and left comments of concern. I do see them and I really appreciate them.

I'm really overwhelmed and even though I want to make my way back to Polyvore, it just makes me even more overwhelmed...

I love you all and I miss you all so much! I constantly think about you all. You are NEVER forgotten! Not even for a minute.

I will make my way back once things are all sorted out.
