Premium Member Lasting Relationships

Love should be eternal and always worth fighting for
If someone shows up to disrupt this, quickly show them the door
The two things you need most for a wonderful life together are love and trust
Always being there for them when they need you and showing respect for each other is a must
A strong relationship takes time and a lot of hard work to create
By not listening to the person's problems, you will be making a grave mistake
A commitment to each other needs to be fulfilled every day
Without it this is the main reason people get up and walk away
Words mean nothing unless it is accompanied by actions and you follow through
If you hurt your partner's feelings just apologize, it is the right thing to do
Your time as a couple needs to be full of joy and happiness 
Without this being a part of it you will just continue to swing and miss

Premium Member Don'T Be Discouraged

We tend to dwell on what we're not,
And fail to notice what we've got;
Skills and Strengths, imagination,
Creativeness, determination;

So many reasons to believe,
That we can actually achieve,
The things of which we've always dreamed.
Those things are closer than they seem.

In fact it's practically guaranteed,
You have it in you to succeed.
You've talents and skills that you haven't tried,
Abilities others have tried to belie.

Preparation is the key,
Don't try to grasp all that you see.
One goal at a time, don't be in a hurry,
And you'll avoid un-needed worry.

It's a lot of hard work and you'll feel like a drone,
But you just have to keep on keepin' on.
You have to have stick-to-it-tive-ness.
It's the key to your goal, it's the key to success.

Premium Member It Is Not So Easy For Me

you think it's easy
maybe your heart
doesn't bruise as quickly
maybe your mind
is a bastion of confidence
thick skinned indifference
maybe it's easier for you
could be true

As for me? Well…
I like to stay clear
"once bitten"....20 times as shy
the reason why?
it's not so easy for me
this survival thing, you see
takes a lot of hard work
and my heart is replete
with burdens and cares
my gut wrenched poetic wares
only incite unfeeling stares
the reader unaware
apathetic animosity
guised in hilarity
isn't for me...

No, it's not as easy for me
to pretend I don't care
when my soul I bare
so I don't dare
let anyone come back round
who has  ground me into the ground
once before
well….not now
not anymore

it's not as easy for me
so just.....
just please….let it be.

Let's Blame America

Let's blame the American's for our problem's
They gave us loans and left us in debt
Let's blame the American's for our problem's
they should give us more money

Yet who gave the American's wealth
Who gave the the American's Money
their people built factory's 
those factory's built job's

Those job's built wealth
did the American's blame you for their poverty
no their success was built on a lot of hard work
success is not given it's earned

did you help build your factory's 
did you help create your job's
did you help build your country's wealth
It's easy to blame other's

But anger leads to violence
learn to take responsibility for yourself
creating the factory's creating the job's
will lead to the end of starvation

take away the problem
and perhaps we can find peace
blaming other's leads to war
working hard leads to success

Seen

I blink once, twice, three times
Trying to keep my tears at bay
Because every time you talk to me
You ignore me in every way.

I try to give myself to you
And open up my heart
But all I seem to get in return
Is just a few inconsiderate words on your part.

I wish I could tell you how much that hurts
The visceral pain that reminds me of how I've been treated before
I tell myself that my worth is not something you decide
That I have to fight for defending what's mine
But a sentence from you and I feel access is denied
To any dignity I had left and the values I mind.

I crave your attention, I want you to see me
From the tip of my nose to the depths of my burdened soul
But all you give back to me is traces of care
And, in all honesty, barely any affection at all.

I'm a hopeless romantic and maybe that's wrong
They say reality is different and it's a lot of hard work
Something I want to do, but not on my own, and not struggle for this long.

I need you to show me that you actually listen 
That you see past the awkwardness, the anxiety, and the occasional wall
That you like talking to me, and it's not just politeness
That you see me as your equal, not only appreciate my kindness.

I want you to be my person and the world can disappear for all I care
But I need you to truly see me and accept every part I choose to bare.
