trying to decide what to write for my personal narrative... hmmm.....

what are you guys writing about?

Words I Never Said

Well the talk about silence today made me think about a newer song by Lupe Fiasco featuring Skylar Grey. Its called Words I Never said and its pretty sweet. You should check it out. The chorus goes as follows:

It's so loud, inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back, the words I never said!
I can't take back, the words I never said!

Thats Skylar Grey singing, the same chic that sings "I Need A Doctor" so it sounds sweet. Then one of Lupe's verses goes as follows:

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion thats why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that theres a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through!

Yeaah its a dope song and it has alot to do with the silence in this nation. I just thought I should share it because thats what I was thinking about during our discussion today. And I forgot to blog yesterday so I hope this makes up for it...:). Peace!

So the whole silence concept today really had me thinking about how noisy and busy my life is. Even while I'm writing this, I'm listening to music. I don't really take time to be quiet, because my thoughts catch up to me. And it's almost as if my whole persona crumbles, and it's really scary. Sometimes I get scared, because I realize everything has been flying by. And I'm usually a confident and outgoing person. But when it comes to basking in the silence, I become a vulneralbe little kid again. I hate being scared... Especailly when one of the posts we read in class today was about only getting silence through death. Death is my number one fear, because I'm afraid of loosing my sense of thinking, and my memories. I don't want to loose my mind in the literal sense. I hate not knowing, or being in the 'unknown'. So having silence and death go hand in hand kind of freaked me out today...I don't know, this free write really hit me hard today so I thought just to write about it on here :/
