Running is the Best Way to Forget Your Troubles
Yesterday was a relaxing but melancholy day. It made me think about my life, then and now. I do hate when I get like this though, especially when it’s due to something of my own doing. It doesn’t help when I keep thinking, going over the events, and wondering what I could have done to change the outcome. The best thing I can do is stop thinking about it and forget.
Today I am running the Maryland 5K Race for the Cure with my sister. I am glad that I have become an avid runner because it makes me feel better. I plug my earphones into my ear and forget all my troubles. Here are some of the songs that I will be listening to:
Frank Sinatra- My Way
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
Nina Simone – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
Baby do you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I’m mad
Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel?
When everything goes wrong you see some bad
Well I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
Ya know sometimes baby I’m so carefree
with a joy that’s hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you’re bound to see my other side
But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
and I get more than my share
but that’s me one thing I never mean to do
Cause I love you
Oh baby
I’m just human
Don’t you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
some little foolish thing
some simple thing that I’ve done
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
I try so hard
So don’t let me be misunderstood
uverWorld -Colors of the Heart
On that day, my heart crumbled in silence
Even though I scream at being broken, inerasable memories and
Darkness flow into my eyes
And I sink into tomorrow whose colors can’t even be seen anymore
I searched endlessly for the day of reconciliation
Only for the sake of losing it, I will live for the present
Even when it is useless and I embrace solitude alone
If you turn on the lights…
I will shine towards them
“Feelings continuously filled with wishes will someday change colors”, that’s what I’ve been taught
To be a person who continues to live with this in the heart
Because Colors are born within anything and everything inevitable
I will paint tomorrow once more with these hands
Before I knew it, I became used to the things I’ve lost
Even the things which were placed into my hands slipped through my fingers
Before my tears dry up, the words which I wanted to hear
Are now for the sake of saving someone
It’s all your fate. You gonna do that.
“If light becomes stronger, darkness will also become deeper”
Even if I realized that, I have nothing to fear
Because Colors are born at the end of just about any kind of heart
My eyes are already open because we were gazing at each other
The Breath of sadness,
I was searching for that to stain it in colors
Without raising a sound
“Feelings continuously filled with wishes will someday change colors”, that’s what I’ve been taught
To be a person who continues to live by this in the heart
Because Colors are born within anything and everything inevitable
They will illuminate once more with the fingertips of light
Just do it… Colors in light and darkness
And take it… Colors in light and darkness
Now, the gentle colors which could not be reached
With these hands, I will use them to paint and fix everything again
Origa – Inner Universe
Angels and demons were circling above me
Swishing through the thorns and galaxies.
Only the one doesn’t know happiness,
Who couldn’t understand its call…
Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
I am calling, calling now
Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer…
Calling, calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer…
Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
Stand alone…
Where was life when it had a meaning…
Stand alone…
Nothing’s real anymore and…
Endless run…
While I’m alive, I can try not to fall while flying
To learn how to dream… to love…
Endless run…
Calling, calling, for the place of knowing
There’s more than what can be linked
Calling, calling now, never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning, yearning, for what’s left of loving
To stay myself longer…
Calling, calling now, spirits rise and falling…
To stay myself longer…
Calling, calling, in the depth of longing…
To stay myself longer…
Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
Watch in awe, watch in awe
Heavenly glory, heavenly glory
Orega de Van Gogh – Deseos de Cosas Imposibles
Igual que el mosquito ms tonto de la manada
yo sigo tu luz aunque me lleve a morir,
te sigo como le siguen los puntos finales
a todas las frases suicidas que buscan su fin.
Igual que el poeta que decide trabajar en un banco
sera posible que yo en el peor de los casos
le hiciera una llave de judo a mi pobre corazn
haciendo que firme llorando esta declaracin:
Me callo porque es mas cmodo engaarse.
Me callo porque ha ganado la razn al corazn.
Pero pase lo que pase,
y aunque otro me acompae,
en silencio te querr tan slo a ti.
Igual que el mendigo cree que el cine es un escaparate,
igual que una flor resignada decora un despacho elegante,
prometo llamarle amor mo al primero que no me haga dao
y rer ser un lujo que olvide cuando te haya olvidado.
Pero igual que se espera como esperan el la Plaza de Mayo
procuro encender en secreto una vela, no sea que por si acaso
un golpe de suerte algn da quiera que te vuelva a ver
reduciendo estas palabras a un trozo de papel.
Me callo porque es mas cmodo engaarse.
Me callo porque ha ganado la razn al corazn.
Pero pase lo que pase,
y aunque otro me acompae,
en silencio te querr tan slo,
me callo porque es mas cmodo engaarse.
Me callo porque ha ganado la razn al corazn.
Pero pase lo que pase,
y aunque otro me acompae,
en silencio te querr,
en silencio te amar,
en silencio pensar tan slo en ti
