don't hide in the darkness on the outskirts of light
flittering
thinking to jump out and scare me
with your excursions of judgement!
I may flicker
and perhaps I may even be doused
but I have the secret
the key
the light
waiting beside me in loving hands
ready to dry me off and start me over again.
So all scorn rolls off
and in the end
wasted water
then you're thirsty to refuel
but why bother trying to keep a true flame on her knees?
I am realeased from the poison of your tongue
because I have the shield of faith in myself
to weild against all your weapons.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

Gotta tell ya, the title screamed at me...lol!! I so wish I'd thought of it. Very much related, very much enjoyed. Some people just don't know when to shut up!!

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

There is much power in these words.

Thank you.

ah yes. . . the sheild of faith. . . if only we all would put on that whole armor. . . perhaps we would better be able to stand up to the trials of life. . .

well done. . .

Jen, your words lately have drawn me in even more so than before. There is so much strength in your words. Hugs to you.

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

Much truth in these words. I have a sister- in-law who always ridiculed me for being too quiet, while she was always the one who was outspoken and judgemental.

This reminds me (peripherally) of an adult poem I wanted to write. So write I shall!

Thnx Jn.
