Stop hiding and take a chance...
Monday, July 5, 2004
This is to you, you know who you are.
You with the dreams of near and afar.
When handed the chance to make the big switch
your mind takes a turn like a car for a ditch.
Here is the road of which you do dream.
Why do you turn, you just make me scream.
When shown the new way of getting your wish
you swim away blindly like a bowl trapped fish.
You bitch and complain and want all to know
your life is so bad with nowhere to go.
But given the chance to accept something new
your defenses kick in and your goals are all through.
Stop being so sweet, so innocent and teary.
You are your own enemy and isn’t it eerie
that you get what you want but you really don’t know
it is you that’s the problem cause you always say no.
Such hard hitting words and something that needed to be said. You have such a gift.
Thanks

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
Khalil Gibran

TY for Reviewing me :)
what people who procrastinate and can't really make
decisions do continuously! Usually blaming others for it!
Bravo on this splendid poem!
This was a really great one, Mike, as it says so much to me, now I am going to have to go out and buy that battery for this beast and get it running, at least I can move if I want to then or have the wherewithall to do so...someday we will meet, as I will be traveling again with Rufuz and Rene'...thanks for the push...Peace, Ed & Rufuz
