To be forgiving, releasing the chained To harbor the hatred for the rest of your days Saying your sorry, with heart, with meaning Saying "Im sorry, YOU misunderstood Me. To love unconditionally, in faith and trust To say that I Love you, always ending with "But" To give, when feeling, so empty handed Taking everthing around you, simply for granted Watching others fly above you, with elation To clip the wings of others, dreams, aspirations To offer compassion, a little encouragement To stand back and say hatefully,"Just get over it!" Admitting you're wrong, trying to improve Being a self-righteous, arrogant fool To simply be happy in being yourself Putting on faces to suit someone else Being honest and sincere, with priceless virtue To always spare everyone, the absolute truth To respect an opinion, regardless of facts Persecuting all attempts, being on the attack To work hard, even, when hanging by a thread To step all over others, just to get ahead To smile when your hurting, trying to heal To make everyone as miserable, as you seem to feel To stand up and stand out, making a difference Being invisible, never scratching the surface |

JanetMarie: Thank you dear lady. The yen and yang is right, and straddling the fence means you're really talented. For I fall off either one way or the other, and sometimes it feels as if the easy side has a magnet, which the magnet in my face cannot resist. Catalinamoon: Thanks so much for reading! Your posts mean heaps! Cpat: Thank you for stopping in on this one! |

Dear Regina, sounds like you fight with the rights and wrongs here, with your inner self and your outward dutys, how tired you must get if this is one of your normal days, I found it very well expressed, enjoyed. Rick |
