what it came down to
was your idea of what I was
and for me to be honest
I did not like that person

I am not always like this
I can sometimes be angry
things you say can hurt me
I just never speak up

so when you say that I changed
just keep this in your mind
you never bothered to see
what was inside the other me

A real man

kisses his children goodnight

James,
You are so right.Too many times we see what is on the surface and don't take the time to see what's beneath.If we did I'm sure we'd all be surprised at what we'd find.Greatly done here.

Indeed - We can grow together, or we can grow apart... One thing's for sure - We WILL grow one way or the other... To grow together means making an effort to see where each other are headed... Well said, JB..

Long live the other selves that should be kept from view, as long as we're not talking about multiple personalities and one is a killer touching poem James

(sigh) Sooooooooo powerfully expressed, sweet friend, it helps to be honest all the tim ebut in order to do so, we can't deny ourselves in order for those to understand deeply how we feel! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is well-said! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

When we can honestly accept the person for who they really are then it is a real and honest relationship..otherwise it is just playing a role we think they want to see. My heart goes out to you. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Well, Sir, I have to admit that you've made me really think a position over that I had taken to mind. I like this. You've shown me something here that I will carry with me from now on.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

I could have written that about my ex- husband..A big reason why the ex is now in front of the name. I’m relating to this one.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
