If Only She Could See...


Because beautiful, positive, strong women constantly inspire me on a daily basis, so I created this set.
If only she could see...
How much she means to me.
How she inspires me--
Endlessly.

If only she could see...
How much she means to me.
But perhaps she does--
And one day she'll surely see.

If only she could see...
How much she means to me.
And how I love her--
Endlessly.

This poem is first and foremost dedicated to my late grandmother. I never got to meet her. She died before I was born. However, I'm told that I favor her in so many ways...

This poem is also dedicated to my mom, my Godma, my little sister, my two big sisters, my other little and big "sisters", and all of the other women who inspire me.

This poem was inspired by a documentary on Marilyn Monroe's life. Another lady that I love.

And as always, there are also some amazing ladies here on Polyvore that inspire me as well.

Thank you for inspiring me and supporting me:

I Believe in Magic (The Magic of Kindness and Love)


Because I wanted to make a set thanking my Polyvore friends for all of their support, love, and kindness. And for their patience as well, so I created this set.
Thank you all for all of your love and support!
I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!
I really appreciate all of the comments, the likes, the friendships, the support, etc!
I'm so touched by all of you!

I haven't been able to keep up with all of the activity on here at all! LOL!
And I probably will never be able to catch up on all that I've missed out on.

However, instead of trying to return all of the likes back, I've decided to make dedication sets to say thanks instead. It's just easier for me. 
It will still take some time though.
So please continue to be patient!

I have a list that I'm working from and that list will continue to grow.
If your name is on my list, then a set will be made for you at some point in time.

As I make the dedication sets, I will also be following the people that I make them for back in case I'm not doing so already.

So again, thank you all so much for all of your patience, love, support, and kindness!
I really do appreciate it and it hasn't gone unnoticed! ;)

I hope you are all having a great start for 2015!
And please remember to always spread love and kindness! :)

Love you all from the bottom of my heart,
xLBx

Tears of A Clown (The Entertainer)


Because I was having a bad day and I was thinking too much. Over thinking kills me. I'm constantly at war with my mind. It's both a gift and a cursed. It can be cruel and it can be kind, so I created this set.
My mind is so strong--
But it over thinks too much.
Over random things,
And little things and such.

I need to get active,
I need to get out of bed.
I need to get away from these thoughts--
That are inside of my head.

But I'm really sick,
And I'm really tired.
Life has a way
Of making us feel like a liar.

People call me sweet--
But I often think it's a lie.
It seems that I'm the kindest,
Whenever I start to cry.

Where is the logic--
In any of this?
When I over think so much,
It leaves me crazy like this.

See, one day I'm really smart--
With a lot of things to say.
And then the next day I feel empty,
And lonely in a way.

Most days I feel crazy--
Like I'm out of my mind.
Like why is it so hard
To find some peace of mind?

Complicated, complex
And totally confused...
How can I ever love someone--
Without making them feel used?

See, I know how you love--
Flaws and all.
But I'm not one to bring anyone down
When I'm starting to fall.

I'm a handful--
For even myself.
I would protect everyone--
From even myself.

See, I really love him
And I know he loves me.
But how can I truly trust someone
When I can't even trust me?

And I'm all for making people happy--
That's the choice that I've made.
But it's one massive price
That has to be paid...

And friendships are the worst--
They make me feel like a flake.
Because as much as I give,
I'm not one who's willing to take.

But what do I really give?
Kind words and some advice?
But whenever they call me to see me--
I have to check my schedule twice!

And I get it--
I'm a butterfly who likes to fly away.
And only the strongest,
Can ground me enough to make me stay.

But I still feel like I'm never there--
When they need me most.
Makes me seem like one big party,
And I'm always playing the host...

Keep the conversations light--
Airy and witty.
And maybe one day,
I'll know the entire city!

And don't bother calling me--
I'll just show up really late.
Clearly, as you can tell,
I have more than enough on my plate.

Don't worry, I'll be fine--
Just give me a minute or two.
Now welcome to my life,
It's really nice to meet you.

Be careful, I'm cunning--
You should really stay away.
I'll say all the right things,
That will make you want to stay.

But then again,
I have a habit of pushing people away...
When really, in reality,
I just want them to stay...

But come along for the party--
I'll entertain you all day!
But when it's over and I'm alone,
Just leave me that way...

Trust me, I'll be fine--
Life is lonely that way.
And I'm the biggest clown,
Who's a phony by the way.

And if you're feeling sorry for me--
Then, I guess I've done it.
A huge pity party!
That's all I ever wanted!

Clearly, I'm lying.
That's not how I want it to be.
Because at the end of the day,
The only person that is hurting-- is me.
