Strength, I need strength..
Because when it comes to your gender I'm weak.
Lies have been told...
Manipulated me beyond repair.

Muscle is what I must aquire,
To deal with men.
I try to go in with care,
You screwed me up, you stripped me bare.

Love is not a possibility,
When you feel the need to be defensive.
Trust is not the issue here,
It's survival.

Every time I feel stronger,
Men? Who needs them?
I fall for a trick you always pull...
Fooled again, and sucked into it.

All I want is to remove my feelings,
My need for affection, and caring.
All I want is to be better off without all of you.
Yet, I can't keep myself away.

ok , this is the one i was going for!
you put to words what so many of us are living..i feel this way exactly all the time...fantastic poem...showing the bare truth of our underlying emotions!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

The thread of destiny
Unknown by anyone
Unseen by anyone
Winds around your heart
Moist with tears
