Frowns

Must I be strong when you are weak? If I am not, does this justify your beatings? It would seem that the clouds would recede. A smile upon my face all would see. Volatile I deny. The antagonistic world is outside. In a world of iniquity, you are fighting self; therefore, no anti-emotions I let possess. I just have to take good care of self and I shall receive the victory. Note my mind is. Notice my body is not. Not you nor me can love any harder. No, I want space. Know I want you out of my face.

Thanks Linda... I don't like to frown; therefore, I can do bad by myself... When you blue you are lesser than depress; however, I don't want the blues either. :)s and hugs... Verlena
