me.....

Me (paula cole)

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people`s jokes I just pacify their egos
I am not my house, my car, my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like the winter
I`m a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave

CHORUS:

And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythmn
I am carrying my prayers
But you can`t kill my spirit
It`s soaring and it`s strong
Like a mountain
I`ll go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground

Chorus

And it`s me who`s too weak
And it`s me who`s too shy
To ask for the thing i love
And it`s me who`s too weak
And it`s me who`s too shy
To ask for the thing i love
That I love

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I`m scared as hell
But I know there`s something better
Yes I know there`s something
Yes I know, i know, yes i know

That I love
But it`s me
And it`s me
But it`s me

She really have a very nice "Imagination"

Could the DEVIL be just you and me using THE BIBLE as a MASK?

Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear
For I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks-
masks that I'm afraid to take off
and none of them are me.
Pretending is an art that's second nature with me
but don't be fooled,
for God's sake, don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure
That all is sunny and unruffled with me
within as well as without,
that confidence is my name
and coolness my game,
that the water's calm
and I'm in command,
and that I need no one.
But don't believe me. Please!

My surface may be smooth but my surface is my mask,
My ever-varying and ever-concealing mask.
Beneath lies no smugness, no complacence.
Beneath dwells the real me in confusion, in fear, in aloneness.
But I hide this.
I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my
weaknesses
and fear exposing them.
That's why I frantically create my masks
to hide behind.
They're nonchalant, sophisticated facades
to help me pretend,
To shield me from the glance that
knows.
But such a glance is precisely my salvation,
my only salvation,
and I know it.

That is, if it's followed by acceptance,
and if it's followed by love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself
from my own self-built prison walls

I dislike hiding, honestly
I dislike the superficial game I'm playing,
the superficial phony game.
I'd really like to be genuine and me.
But I need your help, your hand to hold
Even though my masks would tell you otherwise
That glance from you is the only thing that assures me
of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.

But I don't tell you this.
I don't dare.
I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you'll laugh
and your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing,
that I'm just no good
and you will see this and reject me.

So I play my game, my desperate, pretending game
With a facade of assurance without,
And a trembling child within.
So begins the parade of masks,

The glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I idly chatter to you in suave tones of surface talk.
I tell you everything that's nothing
and nothing of what's everything,
of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
do not be fooled by what I'm saying
Please listen carefully and try to hear
what I'm not saying
Hear what I'd like to say
but what I can not say.

It will not be easy for you,
long felt inadequacies make my defenses strong.
The nearer you approach me
the blinder I may strike back.
Despite what books say of men, I am irrational;
I fight against the very thing that I cry out for.
you wonder who I am
you shouldn't
for I am everyman
and everywoman
who wears a mask.

Don't be fooled by me.
At least not by the face I wear.

Could the DEVIL be just you and me using the BIBLE as a mask?

BEWARE to BIBLE FANATICS!

You are right and the most certain of all is when ONE TRIES TO CONVERT someone desperately in their POV and condemning others using the BIBLE as the ONLY source of TRUTH and WISDOM. Isn't that the greatest foolishness of all?

[rcruman]

bro regnauld, here's a challenge:

can you give me a line in the bible or verse in the bible that SATAN/DEVIL used the bible correctly?
I mean they quoted the bible as its proper application?

read again Matthew 4 if you don't mind, then tell me if SATAN/DEVIL used properly or quoted properly the bible.

Peace!

Are you sure you are not the devil? Joke lang ha!

BTW, I don't think so this is the right forum to discuss about your challenge. As I have said I don't want to be FOOLED by YOU using ONLY your BIBLE as the source of truth and wisdom.

to be fooled?
using only my BIBLE?

why you don't want me to use only THE BIBLE in fact your basing your opinion and issue from the bible?

so for you, you will get issue from a verse of the bible then interpret and want answers from the other book and source?

NGILNGIGA GUD.

about this

using ONLY your BIBLE as the source of truth and wisdom.

let us set things clear first, what type of TRUTH and WISDOM do you want?
TRUTH and WISDOM about GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and CHRISTIANS?
or TRUTH and WISDOM about everything?

PEace!
