Unbalanced
He was worth of what he gave
but not of what he took.
To draw the balance
means to have to face myself
among the assets.

I see what you mean when you say you put your life into your poems. you're a wise woman, Chi, you'll make the right choice...

Dear John, yes, I put my life into my poems and although life has left me with experience and knowledge I wouldn't have opted for deliberately, I MUST SAY that the man I'm with, my husband, is not the one I write about in my poems since he is (for me) the sweetest man on Earth. I've made my choice over and over again.

I must echo John and Hashman here Miss Chi. Your worth miles above this treatment Ma'am. I think your all over it. Thank you for your share once more M'lady.
Thank you so much for your concern and the kindness you so tenderly express with your words, Twitch. It means so much to me!

Checks and balances dont always amount to what they're supposed to, in the end we need to put our self worth on the scale...and you certainly have done so here Ms. Chi.
I feel the predicament and I hope you know all the love and support given to you at du by all your friends.

Dignity is a precious good,
a treasure which,
when nothing else is left,
will at least save your pride.
Thank you, dear Paul, for your
encouraging words!

Oh, Sarah, thank you so much for your overwhelming comment and the reading list entry! My poems are modelled on yours which offer tender emotions and a profound liveliness. I'm deeply humbled.

Everyday we rebalance, find that
equilibrium that may not be optimal
but at least tolerable...

Some people do, some not. Some days my efforts to balance my self make me sway and tumble like a drunken butterfly.
