1/2

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

When you feel as if life is slicing and dicing what you've worked so hard to keep and achieve, and you feel cheated out of half of what you deserve that you've worked and sweated for, and now someone or something is taking it away from you, and you are angry about it...I encourage you all to never be half-hearted about what you want for your life.

Testing is for a reason, and only the wise survive to teach others who need hope to do the same. People who are behind never show their desparation...they just get to work on Plan B.

1/2 does not compute

1/2 does not compete

1/2 creates despair,

it generates conceit . . .

yes, 1/2 insults the soul

and 1/2 won't reach the goal

so as we clutch for half,

who has the final laugh?

(Postnote: If you know someone who is afraid of losing, or having things taken away from them that's no fault of their own, tell them about "Calls for the Cheated." Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Morning. Click the link below for details. God bless. You deserve to make your life whole again--and help others to do the same..)

Calls for the Cheated--Monday Thru Friday

Halves and halves... They never create.

This "1/2" fills the wings of inspiration and helps them soar over clouds of possible DREAMS.

Long healthy smiling craetive life, Sublime Poet.

In gratitude,

When is it OUR turn to be happy?? When are WE going to get a break from life?? As you can tell, Karla and I are struggling; after bills, WHAT money for food?? WHAT money to go out to do things?? We are stuck, and we're SICK of it!!

Pray for us; we could really use a miracle about now!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Cynth'ya,

Understood, but dang, I'm terrible at taking tests - when are the trials going to be over? When's it going to get easier? Ya know? Just so frustrated - I can't give up anymore, don't have anything left. :( Pray for Karen and me - having one dickens of a time lately -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(
