I am no better then others and no worst then others for I am an equal so they don't have the right to belittle me and you can live without that. Thank you for sharing La Belle.
Very well said my friend. Survival is sometimes all we can hope for. And to be judged by others? Let them walk a mile in our shoes and see how they would have done. This hit home with me today. Great write Belle. God bless and be well.

As a poem, flawless, as ever. But read beneath the poetic "layers", this (as well as your previous poem and then your latest blog) is a song of true, poignant heartbreak, of the disillusionment that comes from painfully shattered dreams, once believed... as attainable, and possible to make as alive as life itself. And then come those who judge, who deem themselves the righteous and the unbeatable... even in their misery - which is what most "stone casters" hide behind their sanctimonious armor... along with the most pitiful insecurity!
A warm, deeply affectionate {{{{{{hug}}}}}}} to you, Sweet Lady, from one who admires you endlessly and feels honored to have you as a friend.

Truth and contemplation fully exposed in this wonderful tale. He who cast the first stone.....Kind of sad when people who think they are better, more accomplished are the same as everyone else is God's eyes and it is he who counts. Wisely said......
I enjoy not just the theme here but the structure, the series of questions give this poem power, and well-asked questions, and the final line a clincher.

What is important, is that one does not
spend much of their life, or a lot of time with the wrong person as this poem strongly points out, " The best thing that I've done is not spend it with you . " Well said Belle !!!
He aint worth one more of yore precious tears or thoughts! He is a damn waste of space on this already crowded world! He needs to do the world a favor and fall off of it! I will always have yore back! LOVE YOU! Sissy
The Bible says, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Unfortunately, most of us have not learned that - an excellent message in heartbroken lines - well done, La Belle.
Philosophy spent wise in verse...young women need to put themselves first at an early age and be assertive in career choice and monitor closely the company they keep. Importance signifies knowing the winners from the losers...instinctive message, Belle.
Love,
Sage
