I hate my life
for the mess
it's made of me
and it's strife.

Despair
is my song
the only tune I know
yet it comes out wrong.

Casual words
bleed a chorus
of unconcern
that ignores my need.

Needing compassion,
I am struck
by the force
of her dispassion.

Once in my heart,
how she did leave
is where this story
does start.

She told me today
for three years
she has lied to me
in every way.

I ask for concern
yet each of
my efforts she
does constantly spurn.

Again today
I discovered why men
are violent to women,
the reason is uncovered.

They try to provoke
such a reaction
then quietly smile
at the heart they broke.

All women are the same
is what I
don't want to believe,
feeling so is my shame.

Is someone there for me,
a Lady who
will soothe my Beast
and not ignore my sanity?

Wow, I read this once, and had to read it again...such really deep emotions in this piece. All women are not the same...unfortunately, you got a taste of the BAD kind...the kind that only think of themselves. Humans hurt eachother for only one reason...selfishness - in some form or another. Keep looking up and you will find that someone who will love you truly... Great work!

I also had to read this more than once, Dream. So much raw emotion...yes, you've seen the bad kind of women...I despise them too, as most of the halfway good women do. We aren't all like this. Excellent work, my friend, as always.

This piece sits badly with me. But it's good work.

Oh dear, hurt is a universal thing. We women can be such cows, sometimes. The flip side to be the only species that can think and create beyond survivalist instinct is our awful capacity to hurt others. But of course - we can love too! Don't give up. Hey - you write great poetry, that's got to be a comfort right?

I'm sorry your hurting in such a way,
The right one will come along some day.

Not all woman are the same...some may hurt intentionally, but they say we hurt the ones closest to us. It only hurts worse cause we feel so deep to the ones we love..
Hang in there Dream! Keep chaneling through your words!

Ah Dream, set the bad ones free and close your eyes, the goods ones will come much to your surprise.

Thank you, everyone for the words of encouragement, but my past and present experiences with women make what you say very hard to believe. With friends and more like you, I will always try to keep an open mind.

I think you should become a monk. Live in a monastery that prohibits talking and will not allow you to have writing materials! (Do you feel better with *that* as an alternative?)

If I had a quarter for every time I felt this way about men, I'd be wealthy! We take from life what we put into it! Smile and move on!

Here's the smile.

I have moved on, just every once in awhile, the past haunts me.

You have to have a little faith...I'm not sure it's about either women or men but more to do with how each of us actually feel and show our care...if our attitudes on that don't fit, chances are, the couple in the relationship won't either...but sometimes we have to leave in order to know what we lost or gained...depending on your point of view..

But take heart, there are other's whose future haunts them, rather than their past....well, that all sounds depressing and it wasn't meant to be at all...
