Dread I spend my time hiding from the fear of what you might say The dread of confrontation keeps me locked away to stare at the same four walls for hours on end with nothing but my thoughts and an old tv to occupy the slow moving time I want to take a stand... one day tell you what I really think of your rude ways and negative attitude but I dont know if that day will come I mostly just want to leave get away from where ever you are instead of having to hide who I am and offer phony smiles while I countdown the hours until you leave |

Thank you both for stopping in  I know passing, it has been about a year and half now. My Dave is more than worth it though. I know we won't be here forever so it's just a matter of making it through this part of life to move on to the next  Sometimes it just catches up with you. |

your write was very emotive...however (and please forgive me for pontificating)...no man is 'worth' it if it means demeaning your essence or belittling your presence...passing shadows was right on target...something will have to give...oh well, forgive me if I have overstepped any bounds... |

Thank you both for reading and replying. steavenr - There is nothing to forgive It is not Dave who treats me this way. This is about my father-in-law who has sooo many issues stemming from mental problems he has had his whole life. It is REALLY unpleasent. He would love nothing more than to see me throw up my hands, break down and leave. I'm not gonna give him that satisfaction though. I moved down here because I love my Dave. His dad is stuck with me being part of the family if he likes or not hehehe. |

Tara~ Loved the writing (I use to find it very difficult as well..now they just can't shut me up) and I loved it more when I saw your explaination.  I hope you find a solution."cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

I can relate to this excellently written poem. Sometimes you just have to force the issue, face the consequences, and forge ahead. Our natures dictate to “run” or “fight.” But sometimes we need to do both. Time is against this situation. Sad! So sad. So well written and expressed. JL She said: ”You look cute in the dark.” |

Nice writing of your thoughts...It's Dave's responsibility to straighten any relative of his out...James |
