Anywhere But Here
I find myself
in a tug o' war
for my affections and loyalty
my man and stepson
at odds with each other
throwing hate and accusations
I'm afraid this is getting ugly
knowing their tempers could get dangerous
in a real and lethal way
I want out, I want the fuck out
I'm tired in the way weary souls get
the way a loving mamma gets
you wonder why my mind so often turns to you
it's the sea, the ocean that beckons me
the freedom and tranquility of it
not to mention your boyish good looks
your charming turn of phrase
I'm used to crass bullshit
I want a simpler life
full of refinement
though I know I wouldn't fit
a girl can dream
of being anywhere
anywhere but here

Dreams help sometimes. Have plenty that spice up the drudgery of daily hazards. Beautifully expressed. 💋

Hugs to you sweetheart. .....
Sometimes I do little things to escape for the moment. I go near the water or get in it, workout, read, chat and laugh with a girlfriend, etc.......stress can hurt your health.

for refinement, add one pair of pearl earrings, a stepford wife cardigan & an up-do with yoga pants... it's nice to fake it sometimes... & sometimes the only thing you can do is drink wine straight from the box before noon...
love you to bits lady xoxox hang in there

a dream is nothing but a reality we have not forced to happen - sad and frustrating piece with a sad ending - I hope this is not your reality :-(
beautifully written :-)

I hate to see you caught in the crossfire Crim. I can understand why you'd want to head deep underground. You can breath a bit better here, and continue to write some of your magnificent lines. Just don't send them a link anytime soon. At least all this is upping your productivity. Three in one day!

Crim...
Ur voice is so clear in my heart... I so feel you in this epic cry for freedom...
I hope you can find a quiet corner and disappear and leave them to their madness...
Loves you Sis....

hello crimsin: very honest and written so well. the narrator being torn apart, loyalty-wise by two important men in her life and she has had enough.
now a young, most baggage free man comes along like a breath of fresh air and want to take big gulps to have some peace in her life. excellent!

Wistful, heartfelt words of reality. I understand the divide, lovely lass. I sympathize with your struggle to choose, bridge the chasm, or chart a new course.
I love the vulnerability you've shown here, dear lady. Excellent work!
you know, ;)
