What can I say?

What words can I use?

What can I do to get through

to you?

You're asking questions

and getting some answers

but it will never make you

closer to me.

 

Like , who am I and what do

I do? I hear you yelling what am

I worth without a man at my side

and a child who needs me?

 

If all these things and conditions

can make a human whole and the

world much more beautiful then

why at this moment is it feeling

ugly and cold?

 

You can try to fill it with your hatred

and hostility ; placing the blame for

all your negativity on some strangers

shoulders but it won't ever take the

burden off yours.

 

I see a world in pain.

It's wounded and bleeding.

All you've been doing is teasing

it, torturing a heart which needs

to keep beating.

The cruelest thing you can do

is not notice a human being

whom needs you to really see

him. And you can't really see

with your eyes. Human vision

is not that clear. So look with your

heart . Maybe you'll know what's

really there.

  

If my words cannot touch you

and you're still confused about

what is false and what's true .

Well, I am just a human and

all out of tricks.

There is no magic I can do to

clear out the clouds in your head.

 

Half way around the world I'm

sending my prayers and I'm afraid

they wont be effective when there's

nobody there who really cares what

I pray for.

I've survived all these years .

Why would I if there wasn't someone

somewhere looking out for me?

 

I made it this far with nothing

but scars to show for the private

wars I have fought in.

Choices have consequences and

roads have regrets.

Look back and you'll only feel

lost and confused.

 

So far away yet you attempt

to tell me what's missing and what

will make me happy.

But , it's never a person or thing, a

what or an if. It's elusive.

Get too busy and you might just miss

it.

People can never see the horn on a

unicorn. From the minute they're born

they are blind or only will see what

they want to believe, confirming

every negative thought in their mind.

 

So , what incantation can I use

that maybe will shake and wake you?

Pardon me for disturbing your sleep.

Sometimes I cannot rest until I know

I've gotten to you and done everything I

could to let you know how I feel and my

pain is very real to me.

 

 The tears on my cheeks are hot

and they burn. They never ease my

pain. I can't learn anything from them.

And I hope there's a god whom is loving

and forgives every human sin we've

committed and will gives us another

day to try again. I hope for the worlds

sake there's still time.

This is the best I've read from you. It not only applies to an Internet suitor, but applies to those who have narrow minds when it comes to their lives, living in rigid, often destructive, patterns that they think are the only way to live.

Very painful indeed! It even pains me to read this. People have to be more conscious and not ask any questions or make any false statements about what it takes for another to be happy. Everyone is fighting a battle within themselves and unless we know their scars, we have no right to judge them.
