Fighting For Their Affection
If they make you
work for their attention
fight for their affection
beg for their love
If they make you
work for their attention
fight for their affection
beg for their love
A sad truth that takes many of us far too long to realize. Just because we want something or even think we deserve it, doesn't mean we will get it or even need it.

I sat at the bedside
of a dying man.
With tears in his eyes,
he reached for my hand.
Never trust a white man,
Never kill a Jew,
Never sign a contract,
Never rent a pew.

I used to believe
that I had to learn
how to love myself
before I could take care
There would have been
so much I would have
done differently
if only I had known
First off, I like the poem. I too have pondered that same notion about going back in time and changing things for a better outcome. It's hard to say either way. Things could have been better...
You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.

When you are willing
to let go of
what you are used to
and what you are
For every time I've failed,
For every time I've screwed up,
For every time I've said "I'm Sorry,"
And for every time I've not.
I love this poem! It speaks about how to get through the difficulties of facing failure. I really like it!
That friend,
Would you two have had more fun
If you knew how long he'd be gone?
This is an amazing poem that is so true. Keep it up. There are so many things people don't notice normally.
We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.
