I love you,
But, I don't like you
right now.
Your stubbornness
leaves me feeling
outside of you.
I watch you hurt yourself
instead of
facing the issue.
That frightens me,
and, then
I feel hurt
and stubborn, too!
But, I love you.
Guess that's why
I'll say no more,
just give you time
...to grow...

Pat...I wonder if we asked for a count of hands, how many would be raised if the question were to be "have you gone through this, too?"...

too many to count, I am sure.  Nice write!

The hardest part of love, allowing one to find their own way.

Sun, this is true, and  on occasion, though rare, I'll post a poem with a motive different than most.

Pat, just standing by and being quiet is sometimes the hardest kind of love to give. I guess we can only let then know we're here if they want us. Right? Thanks for sharing this poem this morning.


Love To All,
Ethel

(sigh) Oh Patricia, I can understand this feeling, sweet friend, love always has its glitches and love is not meant to change someone but if one can better him or herself that only makes tolerance stronger than ever! (big hugggsssss) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A very real, and right, write! You really tell it like it is in your poems! I love that! By the responses you get, many people identify with what you convey in your poetry.

To everyone responding, thanks for taking the time and letting me know this too, has meaning to you. Actually, it was written when my son was a teen-ager and I wanted to throttle him but, good! It has worked for me (this poem) many times since, with various other people in my life.

Linda, You truly, really, really, are an angel, aren't you! (big smile)
I hope you know how very much I appreciate your love and kindnesses.
Hugs and much loving energy back to you, and all who posted.

Thank you all,
Pat

*smiles and nods* my step mum has said those words to me..I know I'm still young but It's funny I know she has a point and reason for saying the things she does..
