I am sorry about this...I don't want to appear as a broken record...It's just I have a lot of anger right now... < !signature-->**************************************************** You speak many words talking prosaic circles blah, blah, blah, Sometimes I wish you would just choke on your own idiom You think you are so clever coating your true meaning with adroit camouflage Saying things like, “Sensitive, overly emotional, you make too much out of nothing.” And all I hear is, “Silly, insignificant, your thoughts are not important to me” I watch your mouth and wonder how these transparent words could fall from the same lips that spoke “I love you.” and I can’t help but feel small and female hiding behind my face, my smile when I know I could burn you with my eyes with my indignation inflicting ugly scars all over your heart as you have mine I could melt through your shield of self importance to brand my shame there Screaming "How dare you make me doubt my worth?" But then again.. how dare me for letting you… I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe...

Wonderful, tell it, yell it, but never let anyone make you doubt yourself again. [This message has been edited by inot2B (edited 12-23-2000).] |

Scream it out, my friend, and make she he reads it too! I find that most who belittle others and awfully small themselves and are just trying to cover it up...more power to you!! No apologize needed!! jwesley |

'And all I hear is, “Silly, insignificant, your thoughts are not important to me” I watch your mouth and wonder how these transparent words could fall from the same lips that spoke “I love you.”' Excellent writing here, Breathe! This is all too familiar to me, as well, unfortunately. Liked this a lot! sp  I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

inot2B...That is easier said than done...thank you for your encouragement.., Sunshine...You really DO have a positive attitude...and I enjoy your writing... Irish Rose...I'm apologizing for putting an angry cloud among what is generally sweet, calming and lovely writings...I want to contribute...not detract...but I had to get it out of my system...so thank you for bearing with me... Thank you so much Kit... jwelsey...I believe he is unaware for the most part...and my communications skills are lacking at the moment...but I do agree with you...He does need to know...Thank you... Thank you snowpants...It's sad just how many people DO relate... I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

breathe, it's good, I know! Sometimes we just have to get it out.*HuGS* so scream, then dream. Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Scream it till it all comes out. No need to apologize. Sometimes repetition is what it takes to get noticed and fixed. Wonderful read. |
