Placeholder 1

I've been played with, picked on, toyed with and teased, and
Made out to be the big, bad beast.
Then taken on as a burden to bear,
Perhaps they thought that would make things square.

But I'm just a dreamer, once homeless and lone,
Whose heart longs to sing a lover-filled song.
So I'll work all day and I'll work all night
To find a way to make wrong right.



....just musing

    All we can do is try. A friend on AP, a few years ago challenged me on one of those trite expressions...it was the most honest thing anyone has done on this site. It made me mad at the time because she caught me, but she was right. Those hackneyed sayings mean nothing.

    I'd say that I am sorry but another friend here caught me up on that one too. So here I am, unable to say a darn thing worth reading....and yet here I am doing just that.

    I know one thing...this poem could have been written by me....there are some folk in my life who owe me apologies....and there are apologies I owe others.

        That reminds me of some says but for the life of me I can't remember...oh yes, some famous mafia type movie...I keep trying to get out and they keep dragging me back in....something like that.

        I'm not sure why that reminds me of that...I better check my coffee, it may be spiked with Moxie.

    Yes, that has happened to me, and I thought long and hard about my part in letting it be. In the end, it was about 50-50, my tolerance and their acting intolerably. Pish, all water under the bridge, but not a bridge to cross again.
    I love the second stanza, especially the second line; we all want to be loved and have a myriad of ways to seek it.

    this is wonderful .. so few words and yet it made me cry. It is feels me with longing and sadness ... really great that you can make the reader feel such emotion with so few words. Nice to be able not to hold back too ... so often I keep things in out of fear, not wanting to be vulnerable.

      Thanks Pic. It will be a long cold day in hell before I ever allow myself to be vulnerable again.
