I Know You You, the one with the kind words Only to take them back at the speed of light. You, with your smiles and tender kisses Only to transform them at the blink of an eye. You, with your hugs and “ I love you” Only to take them away at my first mistake. You, with your mind games and power plays Yes, I know you You are all the same. You are a fixer You need me to feel weak. You can’t bear seeing me try to stand on my own two feet. Your eyes can’t take the glare of my shining smile. Yes, maybe it is my fault Maybe I got you addicted to fixing me Maybe I called out your name too many times from the grave. But let me make something very clear I may have a weak soul But I have a strong mind. A mind that no matter how hard you try You will never break. I may not be able to fly I may have already forgotten how But I will always be able to push you away. Yes, I know you I know you well.  |

"I may not be able to fly I may have already forgotten how But I will always be able to push you away." Excellent! A great poem BW...and shows much inner strength. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

Floundering then gaining strength. Good to see, you go girl!!  There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Excellent job. I feel your feelings totally. Don't let go of the strength...it allows you to carry on. I think we have much in common. Feel free to e-mail me if you would like to talk. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

BW, do you know the song that is your name? "Take these broken wings And learn to fly again, learn to live so free" You say a lot in this poem, but I know that one day, your wings will heal again. . . the power of your words sings like a mournful song in the night. . .excellent. . . ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This is an amazing piece, I'm touched by the words and the feeling that you have written it with and by the pain and past that have effected you to write this but most of the the strength that you have to take those feelings and look at them long enough to write with them. Thank you for sharing this gift of release. Whatever strength I add to myself becomes my greatest weakness, while whatever weakness I'll consciously endure will be replaced with a strength that is not my own. G. Finley |
