~Take These Tears~ Take these tears, I wont cry them anymore, They fall like wasted wine and scatter on the floor. Take this pain, its been here way too long, You use it to keep a hold on me-but I'm feeling suddenly strong. Take this shame-it always belonged to you, Keep it with the lies you told and the broken promises too. Take this rage...you deserve it most of all, If you think I'm gonna get over it-your headed for a fall. Take this silence, I know you've heard its sound before... Its the first thing you hear...after the slamming of the door. Janet Marie |

Very good Very brash a good end enjoyed it much Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace, of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd |

Full of strength Janet. I'll take the tears enclose them in my fist, and show you the diamonds they produced. Tears of pain, strengthen the soul and wash it clean too.  Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Janet this sounds like an emotional healing. I Love the line they fall like wasted wine and scatter on the floor. James |

This was a great poem, and I can really relate to it, because recently, I finally got over someone who I thought was my "first love", but he only caused more pain and suffering than I could ever imagine. The whole poem was great, and you know what, you do become stronger. "It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone." |

excellent piece indeed. it would be nice if you could make the ones who hurt us feel how deeply it runs and lingers. the strength rings from this piece. Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear. -Tool- |

~Janet Marie You go girl! This was truly fab! I really got into what you were saying here, and truly felt it within. Sounds to me as if you have had enough, and I am glad. The journey of healing is long and painful...but in the end, when we can finally see the light...then we begin to understand why we ever had to go through it in the first place. Sorry to say I am not all sunshine..just good at pretending. I can relate more to what you're going through than I'd like to admit...respectfully yours, amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

While we are in a giving mood, I have a few extra pounds I want so shed and some anger that has been hanging around. Kelly I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.---Andrea Newman |

They can take it all, the tears, the anger, all of it, we don't need it anymore!!! I will survive and all that jazz. Well said, Janet Marie. |
