Final Mile
by The Poetess

Life is not about smiling and pretending all is well.
We can feel the good times, while comforting the hell.
When I dance the joyful part, you love my cheery smile.
But then you turn away when I wade the teary mile.
I must walk them both, until my work is done.
And I don't want to cry my final mile alone.
But can I be for you all that I need for me?
Can I hold your hand until your heart is free?

Wow...it takes balance to see past the normality and yet it is the reality of our own where we see our true selves...

But can I be for you all that I need for me?
an expressive thought...

I like this...

Yes, the differentiation of being you first in the relationship so you have more to give in the long run is so important. The sorrows must be shared. Most men don't know how to share sorrow when they are young. Older men are kinder and have depth.
Blessings,
Christine

"But can I be for you all that I need for me?" This line alone spills out onto the page volumes of emotions. Beautiful work.

A poem of yearning to be accepted for using all of ones God given emotions.
Men can be emotionally bereft.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
