I see through your transparent facade Your intentions reflected clearly in your eyes You think me gullible, easily overcome because you have seen me fall You think my hunger for acceptance can be satsisfied with a spoonful of your sugar-coated lies You are driven by desire to subdue this person you assume to be docile and meek But, your thirst for power and need to be in control, is what leaves you blinded in the pursuit of me Your exaggerated strength proves how weak you are; and will inevitably destroy you See........ My passiveness is meant to feign lending me the opportunity to break you and your pretence down; First in my mind, then in actuality Without you even knowing what happened until you have already fallen from your ignoble pedistal For the greater power lies in knowing how and when to be observant and meek. Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear. -Tool- |

Once again, danni, remind me NEVER to get on your bad side. Wow... Timid on the outside, raging on the inside. Great poem. Michael |

This is great! The strength of character radiating from your words is wonderful. The hidden strength behind the quite demeanor. Thank you for sharing. |

Great twist! "Beware the meek, for they shall rise against you will great vengence" - me (I just made that up ) Anyway, another great poem danni. I'm turning into a fan - is there a club?  |

Unfortunately, meek is not a common male characteristic. Many men believe that power defines them and they use it to control and manipulate. I think you are hip to this trip. Anyway, your poem is really good. I like your assertiveness and confidence. Now, confidence in women is something that this male really appreciates. Best regards, Danny |

Lol at micheal. don't worry. its pretty hard to get on my bad side. i really am a mellow person. at least until somenone starts playing with my emotions and taking advantage of my good will. thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments. you have know idea how much i appreciate them, and you all. this was sort of a tribute to all those "friends" and would be "lovers" of mine that thought they could run me over when i was down. lets just say they got a rude awakening |

this is SO great Danni...well written and expressed and you cover so many emotions so well...I like the way you ended it..with the passive emotions...making the strongest statement. great job! janet marie When you look in the mirror... Wish you were somebody else Just a perfect reflection You and no one else... Minutes run into hours Hours run into days You're still waiting for someone Who never ever came... Go and run through the hallways Find your way to the door You will end up like always Back where you were before... Then you look in the mirror Wish you were somebody else But it's still your reflection You and no one else... Guster |

Danni, so sorry i nearly missed this one! And glad I didn't!! I'm glad to see you have a firm hold on your inner strength and it will sustain you when needed. You go girl, show 'em what you're made of  May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
