Worth

Living into...

How do I desire to be treated
Do I really need you to feel completed

Should I be looking for another
When it is me that deserves to be discovered

Looking to be loved in all the wrong places
By all the wrong people and hopeless cases

Perhaps it is time now to finally learn
To allow someone I want
for me to yearn

I got myself into my own tragic mess
Embracing the belief that I was less

Now is the day of my rebirth
Powerful is the woman who knows her worth

You have such a great mind, Phoenix. Incredible write. Like you, I'm quickly tiring of the word, 'beautiful'...but it is difficult because so many writes are so beautiful...but this one is strong and honest and just amazing. Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you so much Anne! I'm happy that you enjoyed this one :-)

Another powerful piece using a minimum of lines.
You have such a control of the words you use. I'm in envy.
Feels like someone is breaking free and discovering themselves.
GREAT.

Thank you. Indeed I am trying to fully release anything that isn't mine~regret, pain, energy, etc. thankfully I've learned that I have to go through a complete cleansing and removal of the old in order to welcome anything new.

New beginnings. Casting away the worst of thoughts and scattering new, brighter ones into the fray.
It creates a powerful, colorful, hopeful light.
Well done. ^^

Great work my friend and powerful subject...

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thank you! I always look forward to your reviews!

The last line is powerful and very, very true. I cannot emphasize it enough. If a woman knows she is worth the world, worth what you see in movies and read in books, worth that fire and passion, worth the tender romance, you can have the world. Don't let crappy guys rule the world anymore. It's time for those boys to step up and learn what it means to be a man!

Well, that was a bit of a rant on my part.. Hahaha! Sorry about that! But, I love this! Great work! (:

[FlamingPhoenix]

Rant away--anytime an opportunity presents itself! :-). Thank you for your words of truth!

This is an empowering, moving piece, from a speaker who realizes she has made mistakes in the past, but that does not invalidate her or make her less worthy, as it should not.

Thank you! Up the cyclical ladder I climb ;-)
