I Used to Southern Rock
some people treat me with disrespect
I have a lot
but not many friends
I want to be liked
but I can’t hold myself back
not putting up barriers
it's got to be me with no limits
this is the person I wish to be
so sorry if you can’t understand
I just have to rock
even if it leaves me lonely
dark nights comfort the drunken soul
sitting silently on my porch
reflecting on my past relationships
had partners that tried to train me
treated me like a dog
that's no way to be loved
so I had to hit that dusty road
some people give and give
until there's nothing left of them
I can't even imagine
hopeless romantic, kind, and loving
at the end of it all I found the one for me
rambling, incoherent, with a strong buzz
happy yet miserable is the life of a king
I want respect and friendships
but not at the price of my humanity
all I'm willing to give
is my heart on my sleeve
may seem mediocre
but that's a real kingdom to me
a family that sees the true heart
I have a castle with a queen
my spiritual awakening
I worked hard for this
be damned if I let anyone talk that down
so I’ll drink till I see the sunrise
see it's beautiful mystique
it's the best way to kill the pain
reminding me that there’s more
more hope, more love
and more disappointment
it’s up to me to decide
who is worth my loyalty
I have a lot
but not many friends
I want to be liked
but I can’t hold myself back
not putting up barriers
it's got to be me with no limits
this is the person I wish to be
so sorry if you can’t understand
I just have to rock
even if it leaves me lonely
dark nights comfort the drunken soul
sitting silently on my porch
reflecting on my past relationships
had partners that tried to train me
treated me like a dog
that's no way to be loved
so I had to hit that dusty road
some people give and give
until there's nothing left of them
I can't even imagine
hopeless romantic, kind, and loving
at the end of it all I found the one for me
rambling, incoherent, with a strong buzz
happy yet miserable is the life of a king
I want respect and friendships
but not at the price of my humanity

dearest DC you are beautiful just being you
I'm glad you won't let anyone get you down
you are fiercely loyal I know that about you...
just between me and you...
you made me laugh once upon a time
with someone who treated you badly
I know you are strong and can do battle...
there is true beauty in you...
Happy Valentine's Day...
love Brenda 🌹

Thanks Crim. I'm definitely stubborn at least lol. Funny thing is I'm not sure who you are talking about. I've had a few run ins around here. I can battle as hard as I can love. I prefer to be loving though.
Hope you had a great Valentine's Day 💝💐

I identify with this so much. I'm the "rather have 4 quarters than a 100 pennies" kinda girl. I'm either too blunt or force them out. Then get scolded for wearing my heart on my sleeve. F am. I'm glad you got your queen even if it's not perfect. None of it's a fairytale. My hubby used to have an anger problem but now treats me like the Queen. We can't settle for less!!

When it comes to friendships I suck lol. But I’m stubborn in my ways. I don’t like putting on a show for anyone.
And yeah, long running relationships are no fairytale for sure. I mean it is at times, but I know I been through hell in my relationship more than a few times. I guess when you find the right person you just have to stay. Try to find understanding and compromise.
Thanks for enjoying this poem, friend.
