What mood were you in before/after the song?

Feeling a bit stung. long story short a friend of mine posted a comment about losing the glue in the family, You know the Grandmother and maybe the Aunt or Uncle that always cooked or said I got you. Mine... I wish was here for a hug and I knew in 2008 I had to be that Daughter, Sister, and Aunt.

When the women that raised all the kids died I felt lost, didn't know what building, bed to call home, I understood their bloodlines saying goodbye and a new struggle and new identification beginning. my cousins are still my cousins.

Now, I'm trying to choose me to make my house a home, people accuse me overdoing it, lol what choice do I truly have? I cannot borrow excess money from friends and family. One, I feel we're in similar boats. Two, I will always feel guilty if I impact your flow unable to pay you - trust I saw the karma to my mother, three, I am honestly used pushing till God stops me, thus if I already owe you money I feel that I can not ask you for more. So yes, school is a must, working is a must, choosing my brain over my pain is a must. My productivity is the only Stimulus Package I can trust.

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

Sorry but you will be tolerating me slightly

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

Creed: 

With arms wide open

With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready

To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

If I had just one wish

Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open

Luther:

A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home

A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom

But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name

And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears
