On A Journey To The Unknown

Little threats you make to me
Trying to give me some fear
Your anger I will not give into
Neither will I cry another tear

Forever are you griping about
The few things you do for me
Even the things which I needed
Those things were a neccessity

No longer will you have to fret
You will never know what I need
I will keep all my needs to myself
And all your money you can keep

For fifteen years I lived by myself
I can always live alone some more
My life was alot more happy then
This is one thing I know for sure

Very poignant write Sue, with much strength held in the words.  Well done.

It sounds like he did something to make you mad....
I hope its all better now, Sue....
This reads like a poem written by a proud, powerful woman.
Keep up the good work.

Sue darling girl This is seriously excellent writing, the flow of this is perfect, the internal pace and the construction cannot be bettered. And the form perfect absolutely perfect. A piece written by a woman who knows what she wants and knows she can get it, this is wonderful, I love this declaration darling girl absolutely love it

  
Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
