Diamond In The Mud

Hello Story Time friends, how have you been? I know it's been a long while since I had the time for my precious blog!😥😤 But what can I say? Life in Suriname has been keeping me busy! After all the things I've been through, I ended up becoming a candidate for parlement in my tropical home country. But I'll tell you more about that in my upcoming blog posts. So as usual, I hope you stay tuned for more stories and content. 😉 I've always loved music! During my race towards the elections, I've been looking for more creative ways to express myself! 😎😏 It started out with the songs I created for my campaign. Most of those songs are inspired by real-life interactions and situations I've experienced with people. I do have to admit that I didn't expect my new political adventure to unleash more hidden doors of my creativity. 😍 I am loving the process, as I keep learning and growing as an individual determined to leave a positive impact on society!😊 Of course as a creative soul, these new sparks of creativity I found and treasure won't be utilized for politics alone!😄 My soul was meant to be free and expressive as I explore the beauty of this world.  During my absence on my blog, as I focus on my life in Suriname, I at least want to feed you some of my creations to enjoy! I created a song called " Diamond In The Mud". It's a love song where our heroine finds redemption in the shattered pieces of a broken love! I loved this song so much, it even inspired me to write a story about it. Who knows, maybe one day this will become the theme song to a great Story Time series! 😏 I'm hopefull that one day God is going to aid me in finding more spare time for my creative pursuits.😄 But until then, I hope you enjoy this Story Time Production! In case you want to sing a long, the lyrics to my song " Diamond In The Mud" are located under the video. Have fun listening and I look forward to sharing more with you! Wish me luck on my adventures ( A sister might actually need it!).😋

(Verse 1)

The air still hums with your self-praising tune,

Oblivious to the fading of my moon.

You spin your stories, vibrant and so grand,

Unaware the exit I have planned.

(Chorus)

You think you're holding all the winning cards,

While I've been subtly rearranging shards.

A silent shift, a graceful, quiet slide,

Leaving you standing with the turning tide.

(Verse 2)

Your mirror world reflects just what you crave,

A constant echo of the praise you save

For your own brilliance, your unmatched design,

Too busy gazing to notice I'm not thine.

(Chorus)

You think you're holding all the winning cards,

While I've been subtly rearranging shards.

A silent shift, a graceful, quiet slide,

Leaving you standing with the turning tide.

(Bridge)

You built your kingdom on a fragile base,

And never saw the changing of my face.

Each nodding smile, each softly spoken word,

Was a step further, silently unheard.

(Chorus)

You think you're holding all the winning cards,

While I've been subtly rearranging shards.

A silent shift, a graceful, quiet slide,

Leaving you standing with the turning tide.

(Outro)

The game is over, though you don't perceive,

The empty space where I no longer weave

Into your narrative, your dazzling show.

And you'll keep playing, never knowing so.

The victory's mine, a secret, sweet release,

While you still bask in your imagined peace.
