sitting here, tears streaming down my face
i inhale another drag off of my cigarrette
never thought this would be me......
never thought id ever be so low

so many dreams i have waited for to come true
too many goals left unfulfilled
failure after failure, always one step behind
wrong place, wrong time... the story of my life

i struggle to go on from day to day
wondering why i continue to continue
bills are piling up, not enough money to go around
no one understands there is a mouth i have to feed

stress and tension is a normal accurance
wonder what its like to go a day without having a headache
that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach
when my child asks why i always say " not this time honey i dont have enough money for that today."

when does it end....
when do things get better?
when does a person finally have enough?
when do you give up the hope of a better life?

i inhale again...last cigarrette..
i exhale...and begin to pray..once more

She will hold on
She will rise. once again
if only in the eyes of those who (see)
Hold steady... with grace and all will be as it should

I love you
Beautiful you

Thats the beautiful thing about it... that individual feeling refreshed, and nurtured, every growing, ever changing, ever soaring, forever just you.



Because of this read, today... I will celebrate myself.. just for me, and mine.


Thank you for the reminder.


Be blessed.

enjoyed your poem very much and what a wonderful add by LoversLyrist.

I wondered late in the evening
What better way to spend time
Than pondering, pleasing
Forsaken if teasing
Yet in wakes shudders quake
Just the way that I'm fleeting
But I must concede
WIth the piece that I'm reading
Makes a man glad to know
That a true woman feeling
Herself
Throughout
Without
A sense of doubt
Or Misplaced Care
In the world
Is by far and leading
The most glorious of greetings
And jovial of pleadings
Delightful in it's creed
What a wonderful piece to read.

Thanks Ms. Consonant for sharing!!!

Yah! A celebration of self is a must !!!! You go girl !!!

good write MzEm!

made me smile

It’s wrong
or it’s right.
It’s black
or it’s white
with no subtle
nuances of gray/grey.

Simple things
become complex
when individuality
comes into play.

What’s right for you
may be wrong for me
and who has the “right” to say?

Think on this
when wading through
the black,
the white,
and the gray/grey.


Not being a wisenheimer, but damn we can't even make up our minds how to spell grey or gray.

good write MzEm!

made me smile

Roy Orbison rollin through my brain with this one - You GO girl!

2 make so many jealous only showing what could be.
I take great care of my woman and she takes great care of me

Cook hot breakfast just how she likes her romancing.
Run a bath with her favorite oils and scented candle.
Help pick out our clothes before we go dancing.
Always open doors so her hands never touch a handle.

Wont allow a dime to leave her pocket.
If it's fuel for a round trip to the moon I'll fill up the rocket.

Plant her favorite flowers in my garden,
so she can have the fragrance when the mornings 1st getting started.

When the time comes love just wind me up.
The last toy you'll ever need, your own personal slut.
 
Celebrate her accomplishments and encourage not to give up when a problem seems to big.
Massage her Soul with poems from my heart and her body with my hands guided by love from within.

Listen to every syllable spoken as though it were the first sounds I've ever heard.
 NEVER LIE OR KEEP SECRETS AND ALWAYS BE 100% REAL & TRUE TO MY WORD!

Be the stable rock that never crumbles or falls no excuses no refuses never stumble at all.
No order you could give me would ever be to much to clutch no matter how tall.

Guided by your insight in the face of plight.
Well before my birth I knew a woman's worth.
Riding shotgun for nine months & 1 night.
When I get her I'll no longer need to search.

Run you all the way up the flagpole to my family and friends.
Get props from moms & pops while kissing cheeks and shaking hands.

Making plans together as equals.
Respectful of all her boundaries.
Make home movies and even sequels.
Not neglectful or disrespectful always say thank you & please.

Give the time she wants to do her thing remaining a true man.
These are just a few examples of how I treat my woman.
