The weight of the world on my shoulders
Almost too much to bear
Knees starting to buckle
Sometimes life isn't fair

I won't give in
I'll fight the fight
Every day
and every night

It's me alone
against them all
That's the reason
I must not fall

On me alone
Your life does depend
I will care for you
Till the very end

Things have gotten in the way
many people have tried
These things I have overcome
I will not be denied

Providing for you
at this I can not fail
Sheer determination
That's how I will prevail

I'll never let you down
giving nothing but my best
Always putting you first
so lay your fears to rest
I'm impressed
With the ladies on this site
So much talent
Amazing words they can write

Lady RF
And her magic pen
Looking forward
To reading you again

Your highness
Ultimate Panic Queen
Writing so good
It's really obscene

Oh Gwendolyn
Our talented gypsy
Writing so intoxicating
It makes me feel tipsy

Penelope the Poet
A creative young scribe
Reading your stuff
Gives me a sweet vibe

Valsa George
A writer of nature and things
When I read her
A smile it brings

Sedoo Ashivor
Writing poems with such taste
Every word having meaning
Not one she will waste

Thank you to all you wonderful ladies
For the work you share
I'm headed back to Hello Poetry
I hope to see you there
I sit here everyday
watching you walk by
You never even notice me
it makes me want to cry

See me on the corner
begging for some food
Walk the other way
not caring if it's rude

Other people stare
always looking, never seeing
Never even noticing
I'm a human being

Sleeping every night
on the cold park bench
What I wouldn't give
To get rid of this stench

I look at my hands
the dirt is starting to crust
Always being on guard
not knowing who to trust

For my situation
I'll accept the blame
But the way you treat people
You have all the shame
It has been 3,380 days since my lips have been kissed
nine years and three months exactly ...today
nine years
NINE YEARS... and 92 days...
and my lips will remain a captive to my heart
and my heart judges that they should wait
for 291 961 134 seconds
135...136...137...138
for three thousand three hundred and eighty days
they will have waited
for that soft press of warm skin
my heart waits
endlessly waits
my lips yearn
but they will wait for the delicate touch of true love
and the passion of anothers upon mine
in my heart i am guilty as charged
for the crime of believing in fairy tales
for wanting
endlessly
to be kissed
simply
to be loved
