Fighting Myself |

The impacts are tremendous with blow after blow , each hammering strike against my armor vibrated throughout my chest . Pounding me to the ground , my shield giving way. raging is my blood , back fighting as I sew , so shall I reap my best. Fighting this beast one more time, my biggest enemy. but I’ll fight my stubbornness to the very end. To seek a lasting love of free will, to know it’s a true love from deep within. Joel. In my poems to White Dove I have professed to fight God, the Devil or anything on or off this earth, for her love, knowing now it’s me I’ve got to fight, my stubbornness, my pride, my fears. To free that which I hold most dear in my life, I must fight myself. I will win this battle. < !signature--> I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

well joel all i can say is i hope her love would have been worth it if you had truly waged those wars. i for one, feel she is disillusioned and will be the one lost at the end of it all. but i don't know her, i know you. but i still think any woman would be a fool to turn love like that away. that is what i ***** about on here almost every damn day. no one ever loved ME that way!!! let me say, i love you, joel. and did you get my email the other day??? kynder A woman to a man is But a mere chapter, But a man to a woman Is an entire book.-- Kynder Howell |

The hardest battle of all is the one that rages within us. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Darn Joel....are we brothers or what? That's what my lady said to me when we went our separate ways: "It's just your stubbornness". She's correct, of course. I'm the one with the problem...it wasn't her. What she doesn't understand is that because I love her, I would never burden her with all my excess baggage....she deserves so much more than I can ever be. Such is love, such is life. Hardrock. |

JJ, I have taught sword fighting for years along with all kinds of weapons spear, staff, fencing, so on, so on. I'll take this sword you have made and start the fight with my self, kinda like shadow boxing. thanks. Oh sweet lady, you are a joy in the forums, in our home, we are brother and sister in the heart, not that we know each others pain we do, but that we know the depth of each others love. I seem to have picked up several ?? adopted family members here. haha, like the bloody Walton’s. hahaha and sweet lady, if I may.? I do love you. thank you for being here. Yes Eagleone, it is. how come I feel like I'm landing every time I talk to you?? hahaha God Hard, your right, it is our stubbornness that is our undoing, if anything I have found that by my keeping what bothers me from my loved one they resent it, We are men who are givers and our pride keeps us from taking, and that's what our loves want do for us is give to us, to be that which is significant to us, we are the strong, in mind and body, so what can they give to us in our time of need? nothing if we don't let down our pride, and if we don't they will feel rejected and unwanted, this is fallacy in our make up, we just never want to admit we need it, and them in turn. love all you guys thank you . Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Joel Here we go fighting again I loved this poem and I think we all fight with ourselves the most at least I do. I seem to be kicking myself in the butt all the time. However I do love your work. So keep it up. |

Joel may your heart and soul summon all the strength and courage necessary to win this battle...this internal struggle. Do not worry...she knows where you are...she knows who you are...if she wants your friendship, companionship, no matter her desire she will let you know. You have fought a good fight and all that remains is a choice on her part. I'm hoping your heart finds the comfort and the strength it so desperately needs. I am touched by your writing...James |

Joel, you will make it, and win the fight. Whichever way it goes, when you love that much, you have been a victor in at least one way. I love your writing, Sandra/Catalinamoon |
