Topic: I hear tell, I'm just seeking attention
no photo
Wed 01/16/13 10:51 AM
All my years I’ve worked and I’ve prayed
I’ve had a long productive life to this day
Suffering hardships taught me appreciation
Every humbling experience I use for my creations
My journey hasn’t been one of primping and ease
I’ve dirtied and calloused my hands, feet, and knees
So, what I have now comes from sweat off my brow
Nobody gave me nothin as I earned all my chow
Well, it comes to my ears from gossip around here
That I’m just a B*tch seeking attention, it’s clear
The message being delivered to alienate me
Shows the nature of those with jealous insecurity
And they want me to observe all their commands
Like I’m just a follower without my own plans
Well, excuse me please for making my own living
Believing in charity, loving hard, and forgiving
Those who think they can run rough shod over folks
Would do better eating their words before they choke
On the other hand, the day they start paying my way
Is when their word will hold over me a little sway
Because gone are the days we women must grin and obey
So nobody better expect me to submit to their play
Listening and talking to one another is nice
As we’ve learned about what the other is like
And friends, to me, is what I want us to be
Until we find one to commit too seriously
I don’t know how else to make you understand
But I will not be moved if being pressured by a man
Unless you’re the master of me as your wife
I’ll do exactly as I please with my life
And, if I have 1 lover, 2 lovers, 3 lovers, 4
It’s my private life; you don’t need to keep score
So, back up off me, and get out of my face
Never think you can intimidate me in this way
And don’t come at me with your expectations
Or you’ll be disappointed by my insubordination
Now that I’ve had my say about the chatter
We can be friends, or not, it doesn’t really matter
My world won’t stop without you in it to mingle
I’ll keep having fun, cuz I’m over 21, and singlepitchfork

Well, it comes to my ears from gossip around here
That I’m just a B*tch seeking attention, it’s clear...



If the words that I mention
Is not their expectation
They pass an information
To hurt my emotion
But I never gave them satisfaction
Of destroying my inspiration
Becauae don't write for promotion
I write for communication
Between me and them that has mission
To sustain the ways of articulation
I despise your act of degradation
So I ask you take correction
To stop further infection.
Such is life ma'am. Life is gossip

Yeah... It is. I imagined myself in your situation. That's what my heart did say.

Hey I not a woman but can I rally behind you?
Talk about a mood? the one you were in while writing this must have been priceless
Hey & where do I sign up to be your lover?
...
They'll talk still we'll live
they'll talk more, still no grief
when fists are tight, we'll leave
F@k NO! We are not priests
what do they say about dogs & tricks?
while fighting a fool you both look like thick ticks
So they let their mouths speak
what comes out of their weak minds, ****

Thanks Kik, but the gossip is more than just idle, haters on another site are actually attacking me on the boards in public... trashing my work and me to the other members because they are upset over the life I have, the life I slaved so many years to make for myself. They went to my profile where I have pictures detailing my life and became angry, claiming that I'm just bragging, when in fact, I'm just stating facts and providing substance to back them up. They are mad because I'm putting myself out there so people can get to know me easier, not just thru my writing. After all, that's what I thought the profile section of our membership page is for, to help others get to know more about us. It just amazes me how obtuse and cruel some people can be...

I'm not sure what you are asking.. but I don't really have any lovers... in fact, I've only been with one man for the last 19 years. And I divorced him 8 mths ago. I was just trying to stress the point that no matter what I do in my private life it's no body elses business or concern..

It appears to be moderated, I'm not sure. But, I didn't want to bring it to the management's attention like I am being a tattletale, becuz I thought I could handle it myself. The weird thing about it is, the man that started the whole thing told me he loves me today.. and I don't even know him! We've never talked off boards and I don't even post on his work. So, I don't really know what is going on, but I'm trying to handle it the best way I know how. Thank you for expressing your concern..

flowerforyou I really like this one a lot Athena. I like the way you can stand up for yourself, and the way you effectively communicate your message. People that try to do their best in life don't deserve attacks.

Great ink Athena...

Consider it a compliment that they think your life is interesting enough to want to pull it apart. Albeit an indirect compliment ;-)

Love your work!! :-)

Hi, Kahurangi, it's nice to meet you... thank you for your support too...

It is difficult for me in the heat of their moments to understand why
they single me out for branding, as my life is truly no different from
theirs. And now, after one crisis has been averted, fences were mended,
my refusal to submit to their ultimate mastery has turned them against
me again. So, only time will tell how this little "drama" will eventually
play itself out. But, I will keep the faith that karma will wave her
magical stardust over all our senses and we will be able to get along,
and focus on the positive, not the negative... hopefully sooner, rather than later.... flowerforyou:heart:flowerforyou
