A real man is what I mistook you for You have a small heart In which I don't want anymore A real man wouldn't raise his tone He would respect my opinions For they are my own A real man wouldn't have such insecurities He wouldn't harrass my male friends With child-like immaturity He would treat me like a human being And understand that I cannot see the same way he's seeing He wouldn't try to modify me into something else He'd be more appreciative As I can only be myself A real man would engage in conversation He wouldn't fall asleep as I speak Showing no interest in communication A real man would comfort me When I break down crying hystericaly He would give me my personal space And never keep pent up in the house barbarously To a real man, it wouldn't matter who's wrong/right He wouldn't begin, only try to end the fight He wouldnt direct toward me negative energy I want to throw at you all the rotten memories A real man you are not Your place in my heart has now hardened Now longer a softspot I won't dwell on the memories that are rotten I found someone far more my type So you will soon be forgotten |

And that is how it should be. If a man cannot act like a real man he can just go his way while you find someone who is a real man. BRAVO!!!Emotionally powerful. Absolutely wonderful.   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joanna, I'm so sorry you had to go through that kind of abuse, for you are a very loving girl and deserve the most beautiful love you could ever dream of! (sigh) We all love you, sweet friend, and I am so happy to be yours! (smiles) I love you, sweet Joanna! (kiss on lips) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joanna, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Best to let rotten apples fall by the wayside, and not have anything more to do with them. Make sweet pie with a real apple. You Noah what I mean? LOL |

Where does Balladeer get those pics? A real man is a real person...first. No gender involved. Only then can he be a man to your woman. Hope you have indeed, found yours. Though dawgs can be fun, as long as you're just keeping them around to fetch the paper. |

oh, dear, yes a real man is hard to find, but let me tell you when you do, he never lets go! No matter what you put him through.. It's called puppy love, I believe...yes I like that...thank you for this. Kathleen (Kay) |

RosePetal, It's odd how hard it is to find a real man. Why is that? Good write! |

Teach the men who don't know! I think this poem was very truthful, and far too many women go this type of neglect. I'm truly feeling you on this one! Poetry is spiritual ventilation! |

sad but beautifully written. i think, though, that a lot of the "a good man is hard to find" syndrome comes from looking in the wrong places. just ask tara what happens when you look in the right place  seriously, it's good to see you getting past this. best of luck to you both. -Dave |
