As If….

waiting for the worthiness
as if you understand choices
made by you for me
I don’t remember circling
and where was the list
of my choices
I know me
mostly inappropriate
for others
and when you are all done
just let me know
when it is
my turn

just some words cut from
the diary of my heart

This struck me as sad, It reminded me of a time in my life that made me make some changes. I hope you are okay and my perception of the poem is wrong. very good write.

I can relate so well here Helen

you are assertive and strong though...I'm sure you'll get the message across but if they don't get it, that's their loss

Powerful lines!

"waiting for the worthiness"

Helen it comes fromn within and even though there are times I feel a lack of it...it really is there always...

You can't let others take that away from you~~

though sad, it also struck me as strong willed as well. Even if some might openly come after you, you have the strength to return the favor.

Sounds like u feel bottled up in an abusive relationship...to the point where u r afraid to speak. I think that mental venting is needed in time like that...many people could learn alot from this I would like to see the sequel and independent womans thoughts. Anyways exceptional write...elevation is the key
