Anthem

[CandiGram]

I have found my anthem! Everyone should have one - a song that describes what you are all about at that moment of time. I had one in college. My DJ friends would play it once they saw me in the club. Sort of like saying hi! And its not T-shirt and Panties!

Most of you know I am going through some life changes. But you know what, I am so grateful for this "stuff" because it helped me realize that I, Candice, became lost.  I lost my spunk from high school; when I was know as CandiGram and my charm and seduction from college.  I use to be able to leave a man drooling with one look.

In the past some-odd years I became passive, quiet and shy even and I can't think of any other word than to describe me than "DOORMAT". I became, said and did what was expected of me. I took on the roles in which I was assigned - Faye's Daughter, Erlin's eldest Granddaughter, Justin's and Candra's big sister, Mrs. David George, Hailey's and now Camryn's mom. I'm not saying that it was a bad thing nor do I blame anybody but in all this I forgot about me and my identity. So now I am reclaiming Candice. I can be all of these while being ME in all of my hippie, eccentric, sultry, soccer mom glory! So if you doubted it before, rests assure that I AM BACK! Now let's sing  . . . . .

 "You don't own me
I'm not juss one of your many toys
you don't own me
don't say I cant go with other boys
bababababababaaaaa

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO
AND DONT TELL ME WHAT TO SAY
AND WHEN I GO OUT WIHT YOU
DONT PUT ME ON DISPLAY

you don't own me
don't try to change me in any way

you don't own me
don't drag me down ,
cuz ill never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
SO JUST LET ME BE MYSELF
that's all I ask from you"
