Ancient castle corridors,
Like my life all spotlessly clean,
I carried it all for so long now,
Now I just want to lean.

It's sad to realise my realities,
I am the one with the backbone,
I hold everyone up, comfort them and help them,
But no one is there to catch me, if I stumble, I'm all alone.

I want to worship him,
Want him to be my everything,
Want him to be my Lord,
Want him to make my heart sing.

I'm a woman, just look and you will see,
Yes, I like the door opened for me,
I don't like mowing, or weed eating,
I want to be treated like a queen.

Don't want a life of ancient ruins,
My hopes, my fears and dreams,
Don't like feeling if I flounder,
My whole world would come apart at the seams.

Really listen when I speak,
And understand when I need some sympathy,
You're supposed to look after me,
Be the man and let my heart be free...

 There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self...

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Isis,
Great work....just loved the ancient theme here.  Hope you get what you want.

It's amazing what a little attention can do. . .

Sometimes, only you can catch yourself. . .and other times, you have to watch where you step. . . and other times, there are friends there to catch you. . .

Excellent words, my friend. . .

Isis, those lines tell my tale all too well.
Great Work, but your poems are always great.
You will get what you deserve.
