    Shutting it down

    What will it take for you to realize?

    I’m not the enemy

    Just trying to make real life decisions

    Effecting our lives

     

    Life’s, just not all about me

     

    What will it take for you to realize?

    I’m not a fighter

    Often finding, putting on my armor

    As if going off to war

     

    Not willing to surrender

    Life’s, just not all about me

     

    What will it take for you to realize?

    Gone through life changing events

    Fighting our battles

    When there’s no war to win

     

    Neither willing to give in

    Life’s, just not all about me

     

    What will it take for you to realize?

    I’m not the enemy

    Leading a life of least resistance

    Sharing your pain

     

    What will it take for you to realize?

     

    Life’s just not all about me

    Not willing to surrender

    Neither willing to give in

     

    What will it take for you to realize?

    That this man love’s you and he’s

    Neither willing to give in

    Nor ready to lie down and die

     

    Life’s, just not all about me

    We are all in this life together

    Very well and bravely said, IsWasAlways. Having been single for 10 years, now I have a new appreciation for how hard it is to have to go out and fight those battles and still remain soft-hearted. Thanks for the invitation, I know I will be back for more. JeanMarie

    Thank you my new friend......romance is an every day thing. Just to receptive to being hurt.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
