i know i am not all
you thought i was
not wise
not brave
not strong
i am just a woman who stands
quietly
with all my faults
and weaknesses
here in front of you
stripped naked
of my pride
desires
dreams
will you listen to me
as i hold out my hand
all i ask
is that you accept me as i am
as i accept you as you are

i stand defeated
to tremble with your coldness
in acknowledgment
that i hope for too much
an impossibility
i must accept
with each beat of my heart
what i can not

wordancer, oh, how I can feel these words! Why do we love to be torn apart by the words of the one we love? Will we ever get their blessing? If you figure it out, please let us know. Great writing, ME

Sometimes people can be so hesitant to reveal that they're feeling so vulnerable... it's refreshing to see someone finally admit they feel that way. I know I have. Wonderful, honest work.. I love it.

Nicely written poem of how fragile a woman can be.

My friends, thank-you for seeing my words. Sometimes it is really strange to see how a thought comes out in the final draft, this came from a old poem that went in a difference direction.
