Me


I refuse to stand around and wait
For you to wake up
To fully appreciate the love,
that I am
I refuse to be patient,
any longer
You Say You Love Me
show me
with actions
Not Words
show me you care
Not with Kissessss
but motives
Not with excuses
but Involvement
At once I was complacent,
No longer
I, now, am Me
as I once I was...
Independent,
without thee.
Stop talking.
Show me,
let it be.
What it is
I am alone.

  1. I have been this piece...after 24 years of marriage to have become rather invisible, a piece of furniture. However I finally pushed for me, as the woman in your post, and the wheels are turning. Better now. I keep fighting.

  2. I find your words to almost be haunting yet so beautiful....no matter what time of life one is in it is so important to find "Me" When one accepts and nourishes oneself they are rewarded with acceptance and oh that is so wonderful....as it is followed by peace and contentment......:-) Hugs

  12. What raw emotions and words expressed in this piece. I think the photo accompanied with this poem also conveys loneliness and longing. I also feel like there is some triumph in this piece and courage to move forward.
