Loneliness lulls me
with empty lullabies
and promises
of better days.
I stare to the sky
seeking answers
to questions that sing
curious..
to my soul.
A soul that is anxious
to be more than
a mere puppet~
upon your string.
It's been long
enough already,
that I have played
that part,
I won't do that
(anymore)
For I've walked
a thousand miles,
in shoes of your
shine..
it's time to walk
within my own.

" Love is a wonderful thing. You never have to take it away
From one person to give it to another. There's always more than enough to go around."
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
" You love simply because you cannot help it."
"Love... if you don’t have it, no matter what else you may have, it's not enough."
"Don't believe everything you think."
"A friend is someone who knows the song of your soul and sings it back to you when you've forgotten the words."
" Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain!"
"He who angers you...conquers you."
" and in the end...It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years"
Okay so give me good people. Give me something to sigh at, cry at or sink my teeth into. I need it right now...thanks in advance if you enter great talent...Trina

Well I was gonna use qualified crazy, but then I remembered you said render you speechless, am sure you already know I am qualified crazy so that wont do now will it...lmbo....hmmm...unless I can convince you that I am not qualified crazy...yea ..that's the ticket...lmbo
okay seriously, this is a great contest, you have left us much to choose from and I think your wrong about having no inspiration...you had to have a bundle of it to come up with these ideas..lol...ok, ok, you need say no more, I will shut up now and let you get back to whatever your doing (hey I had to ensure you thought I was crazy in order to convnce you I wasn't...lol)
Good luck with this contest dear, you always hold such great ones!
Best of luck to all who enter!
Hugs, Suzi -
I agree...outstanding concept...and I'll enter...smile and hugs...love, David

You are so dang funny! I do not think you're crazy by no means...lol. As for the rounds the only one's who cannot enter right now are poet2angels, Night Hope and Lilac ThOughts. That is because they are competing in the last round of my first set of three. You may enter this one and my other rounds one. The collab one you are in with Saffron is a whole different concept...sorry for the confusion...blame me if anyone says you're crazy...lol...Thanks for your support...Trina
