Yeses of Glass |

Looking at my whys and not liking the lies I believed for so long Seeing where I went wrong a little too after any given disaster Making sense of it now doesn’t help somehow Knowing how far a simple “no” would have let me go But my timid kept it hid behind yeses of glass Letting it pass in an intimidated cringe without challenge Don’t disrupt the peace keep it within reach Hold it in again and again LGR©9/2/11 |

Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. ~ I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. ~ |

Hold it in again and again It hurts just to think of it... and it never makes sense. |

Nice write! I must agree with JerryPat2. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
