gOD

standing on the dock
in the middle of another shift
your hands tremble
as you come to the realization
that maybe this is all
you're meant to be
despite what people tell you

in a world of balancing forces
rational thinking declares
that for everything
there is a counter balance
the laws of nature thrive on dualities
and you must be the flipside
of a successful, beautiful, happy woman

you sit on the edge of the dock
and stare blankly into the sun
as tears fill your eyes
because you know
that even if you could
bring yourself to believe in gOD
there'd be no doubt in your mind
that the sadist hates you

Hows it going bird? You are! Such a pretty lady. round my way the birds are minging.

put the song on!it works for two minutes or so.

in all seriousness, too much of this makes sense for any of it to be funny.

i love it when ur stuff reads like a story.does that make sense? tell us another grandma!

Great job. You never seem to have a bad write... How about sending some of that talent my way??
lol

We see the light of those
Who find the world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream from growing cold...

Raphey, I hate it that you feel this way. It makes me sad.

You know what? You are one of the best at telling how you really feel. I wish I could tell about the sad parts. I can't though. They stay inside and give me stomach problems. The only person I seem to be able to tell about my sad part of me is Gary. I wish so much that I could write poems about it, though.

Now you already know I am going to disagree with you . . .
I dont think that you need anyone as a flipside
and He doesnt hate you despite what your
brain tells you daily

I still pray . . . I do - always will Raph
you know that
and this really did hurt to read
xxoo

This seriously deserves a double DAMN!
And that last line: damn, damn DAMN!
  
You'll never know how much I relate...this is your best and sometimes you write so raw, so powerful that I have no clever words to say.  I've already re-read this several times and of course I'm saving this.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

I go out of town for a weekend, and you post this.Awesome writing.I think sometimes when people read you, they forget the other side of the coin.I truelly understand what its like to almost believe, get half an answer, and want to know if its all so true?
Why does it hurt?
Awesome words Raph
