Premium Member Always Taking L's
My life's always been full of so much love, lust, and longing, As well as shallow lovemaking, loneliness, losses, lamenting. Feelings old and new within me are always lingering....

Premium Member Taking A Look Inside
Should a man dare to look within? Search secret places of hidden sin? The lack of which could be exhilarating, But those long loss, debilitating. Even those revealed can be a gift, Confession, forgiveness, they could give a lift. Or an insight into his authenticity, Could open his eyes that he might see. Through the illusion, that’s led him astray, Guiding him back to...

Premium Member Jaymee's Version: thanK you, aIMee, For Taking it Down, I Guess
it's as good an apology as I'll ever get. Red-handed is a hard spot to be, but you deleted it quick. Although it had been there since March of '24, which just means your speed was relative to matters of impending consequence, not conscience. Rest assured as inertia, I think you got it before anyone could clock the line...

People Like
It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is the way of the people, to want whatever they see. It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is the way of the people, to take whatever they please. It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is...

Taking back what's mine
Screams taking up all I own Screams making me believe I am no one Screams enchanting him over my sorrow Cause his joy only lies on my failed tomorrow. They try and try To ensure I give up My eyes cry For they never give up. They take my beauty They take my time They take my energy To I can never...

I'm Taking Steps For A New Life
I'm on fire with this life. I like the fiery flames, I like to let go through myself, To experience, to feel emotions, I love to warm up people's life. I want to believe my own feelings. Rather than rely on logic often, All my destiny steps are taken away, When I felt my whole body sense, Came brave right decision for victory....

WE ARE TAKING THE STAGE
They told us silence was golden but we learned it was a cage. Now, the locks are rusted open and we are stepping on the stage. No more whispers in the margins no more shrinking to fit the room. We speak in every shade and story our words like seeds that bloom. We are not echoes of one another we are a rising storm,...

Taking a Trip
Leaving home to take a trip Invites a lot of stress, For whether things go just as planned Is anybody’s guess. Within your comfort zone you know The rules and the routines, The details all at your command With few surprising scenes. Yet out of bounds all bets are off And so much can go wrong, As unfamiliar routes demand The proof that you belong. It’s...

I Stop Taking Risks
Don't be angry, don't show that long face; they change whenever they try to cheat, I stop taking risks and reject this defeat: distrust could be gone with one embrace! I stop taking risks regardless of its awful outcome, waiting is useless hope when it turns into delusion; how much can be accomplished in the meantime depend on the right set of...

Premium Member Taking Cats on Vacation
Sue wanted her cats to see Italy, Paris and London too Wished to smuggle them in suitcases, but they both mew. You could hitchhike from country to country, someone suggested. His idea was a horrible idea, rides were few, bad ones manifested. They spent time in back of pickups with cows, goats and mice. Or in cages upon car tops,...

Taking Flight
Upon reaching the top I found a new bottom Polarity lies with the truth ill begotten Direction a ruse in misguided fruition As searchers take flight — in their new destitution (The New Room: January, 2025) ...
