Wonderful. So much emotion expressed here. I really like the way it flows and the rhymes are awesome!
You know, I don't listen, behave or conform either. It just always felt to me that if I change for someone else, each time I do, I am chipping away a little part of me and I become what they want me to be instead of who I am. I am very much a take me or leave me kinda woman. Eventually, you find someone who loves you for who you are and the only thing they want to change, is you last name. UBU

Great write!

[Shadow Writer]

[Freder Fredersen (aka G..]

I loved this - it seems that people often claim to love us; then try to change us into their version of what we should be. Why is that? I never conform or fit others' ideas of how I should be - what I should do - it isn't who I am and well, I've lived with me for a long time and grown accustomed lol. if someone is out to make you into another - then, let them go - be true to you and find that someone who knows what a gem they've found :-)

Whoa! Nice flow... and the ended was superb!
It wrapped the entire piece up in a nice pretty package and
and slapped him upside the head with it... wow.

Absolutely, break free from any chains
that bind you. Emotional control can and
will steal happiness/joy...

I really enjoyed this! Great work!

you have a wonderful way of telling a complete story using the absolute minimum number of words. this is excellent.

So many ways women are taught to please. PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE! How about they "doing" some performing?? Ideally, none of us should have to and I understand completely what you are saying here. In the end, you give away all and more and still, it's not enough! Great read! Barbara

A deep and winding journey of human disappointment and the fleeting enigma of true "love"......I am guilty of such selfishness in relationships past.......I thank God He allowed me to live long enough to realize my arrogance. Love is very much a give and take proposal........It takes unconditional acceptance on both sides of the fence. Thank you for sharing a painful slice of your life Kath. I am rewarded as the reader......


Peace,

Bill :-)

Terrific poem, Kath. Very well constructed...thoughtful structure, word selection, use, and rhyme. Of course, its power is in your passion, your pain.

This is wonderful, i like this it's very well written.

[Ken Simm.]

This works so well. Flowing, precise, the clipped lines lead up to a crescendo that is in dyametric tension to the words. Classic.
