    Poem Commentary

    i don't like this one at all....

    for myself

    i was told i should try to write for myself
    so here i go i'll give it a try....

    as i sit here alone i wonder
    where did i go wrong

    did i not love him enough,
    or is it the other way around?

    I gave it my all.... i have children though
    i can't do it alone... and i shouldn't have to

    is it okay raise your daughters to think
    it's okay to support your husband

    i thought the man supported the woman
    now i don't mind working right beside you
    but please don't make me do it alone....
     
    i wish you could see what this is doing to me
    i didn't want to make you leave

    i need to focus on me
    i need to be okay

    when you are strong enough to handle the new me
    then maybe we can talk.... or maybe just maybe
    i'll like the new me and you will have no place here

    is that what you fear... i hope you see now
    all i needed was some help

    Such strength you put forth in your words, you have me at the sidelines cheering go go. Great art form from a wonderful talent. Loved it.

    thanks again... i really appreciate it.

    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)
