have you ever heard a lie
told straight from the heart?
have you ever hurt so very deep
that your soul felt torn apart?
have ever stopped to wonder
exactly who there was to blame?
have you ever caught yourself
actually beginning to play their game?
did you ever feel another soul
burn deep within your own?
did you ever wish you were dorothy
three taps takes you home?
did you ever throw
your hands in the air
and tell the one you love
that you just don't care?
have you ever stopped to look
yourself straight in the eye?
tell me did you know your name?
and figure out in the end
there is only yourself to blame?

Julie,
A very insightful write. But I feel you are way past that stage by now. Have a wonderful day.

I loved the Dorothy reference too and the three taps.  As I read, though, I just got drawn into your message.  It's a good poem.

Thank you for sharing.
