who is this woman who hates you so? she hates the windows to your angry soul, she hates your self taught need for control. she hates your fingers she hates your toes and especially your mouth and each and every mean word that you speak, and if it is possible to hate, I mean really hate someone's guts well then she hates yours. who is the woman? she appears in great distress, how can I help her, if I know her not? my mind needs find a place, her properly filed away space, but I hardly recognize her face so contorted by anger and frustration, and hate... I look again for I cannot seem to leave the pain in her eyes behind, she reminds me of someone I knew in my past, someone who used to love and smile and cuddle puppies and suckle her babies...and a cold reality sets in and I gasp... could this woman... that I can hardly bear to see, whose pain is felt as if my own could she..... really be me? remember this...nobody has an unbreakable heart |

Wow. Words so powerful. They describe how I think we all feel sometimes. --A Little Fairy-- |

"I am a stranger now unto myself..." So many of us hide in the shells that we've become. It becomes harder and harder with time to see what we truly were. A thought provoking poem. One worthy of you. |

No it tis not you, you see, But the you that's been remade by he, The you that was still is I know, Because you have a smiling glow, The she you see is the she that he, Holds hostage, But you, you are free... |

Your words remind me of times I've seen my grown children act in some way I once did, and the remorse that fills me. However, it's having been there that bridges an understanding and the powerful urge to help them find a better way. Thank you. |

Hear, Hear! Hope the meeting was as brief as I suspect it was. All people with high ideals occasionally fail to live up to them, and try to improve. The ones to feel sorry for are those with no ideals. |
