This is a new thing this life of mine
I'm sure of nothing and yet I'm just fine
I'm finally learning how to live for me
I've figured out it's alright to be free

People are upset at the promises I refuse to give
I just keep telling them it's time for me to live
I cannot give something I do not carry inside
Sometimes this makes me want to run and hide

My promise is something on which I can stand
When I'm drowning it's that saving hand
In time they'll see this as my saving grace
And then again be able to look me in the face

Right now I'm just going to take things day by day
Living for the moment come what may
To some I know that causes great pain
Yet I must do it to have peace and be sane

I'm not asking for you to stand quietly and wait
I know when I'm ready it may be too late
This is the chance I'm willing to take
For no false promises did I make

Well said and well written. I hope those who matter most will read and understand.

to thine own self be true

sometimes you must live for yourself. good luck and great write!

*snap* *snap* *snap* yeah digging that...

(((David))) if they don't understand then it is truly their loss

(((Kat))) self is all i have left

(((Dirk))) living finally feels right

(((Mz))) thank you

(((James))) the only thing i rule is the word i give and the heart it comes from


(((MY FRIENDS)))

The coolest thing to rule are the feelings in your heart
You’ll sparkle like a jewel and keep the horse before the cart
and if you meet a fool who doesn’t recognize you’re smart
send him off to school to learn the lessons of Descartes



Damn I can’t stop rhyming!
I need to see a shrink!

Good for you friend... a promise to yourself, for yourself

making no demands
demanding no actions
giving yourself
to life
to your moment

finding here
reality
peace
acceptance
love

no promises
promises



does that answer your question?

Love this James thank you

The shrink
would be
shrunk
and the ship
would be
sunk

DON'T DO IT!!!

{{{H}}}
thanks for showing me love

{{{Angel}}}
thanks sweet lady

Denise

The willow is calling
through the soft voice
of the breeze
Come sit
under my bows
and listen please
I offer to you
wisdom through words
such as these
Let life refresh your soul
cleansed like your body
through a sneeze


Ok, I'm a dork but that is what came to mind when I started thinking.

Nothing more pure than unadulterated lovely dorkiness or would that be dorkship? - well done all y'all.

This from the woman with the frog!
