It isn’t that it doesn’t feel right It’s that I know it’s wrong It isn’t that I will pay the price It’s that I know I don’t belong I won’t say the words and further complicate I won’t want for more and I won’t want what isn’t mine to take I wouldn’t ask you to go away Even though it’s probably not good for you to stay I wouldn’t expect you not to hurt me Because I know you will some day "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

As 'they' say, "Let your conscience be your guide." However, from my personal experience, that isn't the most fun way to go!  You have a tender, loving heart and may the man who is fortunate enough to get to hold it, treat it with the love and respect that it deserves. Love and a warm hug, Linda  |

If we never got hurt, we would never know how to protect ourself from the pain. I also think that the first time you slap someone, it doesn't hurt that bad, but if you keep doing it, your hand starts to hurt as bad as the face your slapping. I don't know what that means, but it sounded good when I wrote it. Love always, Tracey |

I can't express how much these words hit me and how much I relate to them. The words are hitting me hard. Sometimes though, we need to take a chance on happiness in this all-too-brief life we lead. |

You've always written your lessons in life; you've always been your best north star; the faculties of life you've grown; you've weathered them well...continue strong! |

Susan, When I see you have posted a poem, I am here reading. I like how you write of struggles and heartache. You are real and your poetry reflects that. A |

I really didn't expect any responses since I have not been here very much at all..you guys are way too good to me... Sometimes it's all worth the future pain.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Susan, The Simple Truth has two side to it, it looks like from your writing. That doesn't make things too simple it sounds. I like the depth of your writing and thought. Toccatta |
