Hi Gary. I am new here but been writing since 1979 so believe me when I say, I have no words to say...about that piece of prose.
'Nice' doesn't cut it.

Poem: “I’m not afraid”
By: Veronica A Rogers
Dated: 12th January 2012

I am not afraid to die,
to cry,
I never want to lie,
I'm not afraid of being real –
I'm sad
that others fear
and do bad things when they feel
trapped within their lies –
but I rise,
to a new sort of sunrise
and seek to throw off all disguise ....
I rise...
and it's no surprise..
that I grow quieter, calmer,
stronger, bolder,
better: by myself;
so I can be my best self with others…
for when I spend time alone
I thrive from alone-time
And can’t help but rise
for I see the future in my eyes...

Hello. Thanks for adding me..to this great site. Just 3 suggestions, please, no offense meant:

1) please consider placing the 'about' me general info (i.e. the 100 words bio) right next to the picture of my face so people see it right away and stand a better chance of actually reading it. Too many people don't scroll down or read info they just see a pic and that is it. Then they ask me things they should already know...or act like they never read anything about me. I had to direct a guy to the info below my pic.

2) Please put their religion under their age and country, right by their picture so searchers can see that right away and not waste time and effort to have to click and scroll and go into each profile to see if the person's religion matches your interest. I am weary and I have been here only today. My finger tips hurt.

3) Is there any way that if I search by country and 'who is online' I can ONLY see who is online in that country? Can my country and who is online come up at the same time? It gets sent out when I go deep like that and I get people from other countries online - I am not really interested in men from other countries since they stereotype ALL Caribbean women as being scammers etc after their money and that is not me so I rather deal with my culture and the men right here..that is enough to deal with. I spent a long time messaging someone abroad who said he was looking for a woman who could ' love me for me' and I asked what he meant by that and shared my heart and was kind to him and he simply asked me ' so what are yo doing here' so I blocked him for being a fool and ungrateful.

Hi. I think you just found out. :-)
Just be brave and say Hi and ask.
Know who your are and what you have to offer the world. be confident and just say Hello.
So..Hi. I am Veronica. I live in the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Would you like to be friends?
