Hell If I Know

Brenda, this is so heartfelt.. it's like lyrics to a blues song.. you just get it off your chest, and tell it like it is.. sometimes letting go of the mask we wanna portray is difficult.. but underneath it all lies beauty.. trying to numb ourselves is commonplace, in this cruel world.. hopefully someday, we can all look past the distortion.. and see the clear truth.. this poem, gives me hope.. love you..



Dave

You do know! The answer is right there in front of you in your own words. You've set your own trap. Do you take the cheese? Are you a woman or a mouse? Your enablers want you to be a mouse and until you let go of the need to be caged, you will be exactly who they want you to be. This poem is proof unto itself. You have exposed it all and see it with perfect clarity. You cannot be submissive and take charge of your life. Harsh the lessons of life, but full of wisdom in the darkest of times. Amy Winehouse knew the solution but said "No, No, No" until she died. So much for pride... I stayed away for so long in spite of caring about you because it is too painful to watch a phoenix crash and burn, knowing it will just start all over again until it doesn't. And then everyone on DUP who has enabled you will scratch their heads and wonder whatever became of you...    
Great poem by the way! Any had great poems too...

This is a deep introspective write
Brenda. It seems as though you
recognize everything that is going
on on the inside.

That, is part of the healing process
if you so desire.

Sometimes I think though that we
become comfortable and apathetic
in our own pangs and so, choose
to remain there.

  A great expose... namaste;    Dantalyon

dearest Dantalyon thank you for your insightful comment causing me to ponder..

love Brenda

Miss Crim. . .I really don't think anyone knows only that we know enough to keep on moving. . .Genuine and Heartfelt is what comes to my mind which only proves that as a Poetess, there is nothing that you can't write!. . .I love you. . .~Devlin.

my Darkest Queen I love you too..

thank you for your thoughts on this write..

My Beautiful Brenda,  when we least expect it,  we can encounter moments of clarity and will strive for what is seen. You my lovely one have the ability to conquer all...you have without even knowing it and will continue to do so.  I love you so very much and I look forward to sharing each step with you in this journey.

With love always - Taryn xoxo

I love you with my whole heart beautiful one..

beautifully sad - I fully recognise 'seek me and you will find      
                                                    the bones of yesterday      
                                                    wreckage of today'

got a lump in my throat, and I've made a fist to carry on :-)      

thank you most graciously David for feeling this write..
