Stop This Madness by Anne Engelen
Who are you
to think that you can barge
into my life like that?
Who are you
to think that you can say
whatever you want to say?
Who are you
to look at me and disagree
with what you see?
Just for the pleasure of disagreeing?
Who the heck are you
and why do you love to make me feel blue?
Why dont you answer me?
Youve had your chance
Not an eye I glance at you anymore
My reflection, my mirror goes out the door
Time to stop this madness
Im more than what meets the eye
Far from perfect Im glad to say
So...
Tomorrow theres another day
to learn to love the inner me
The person I also want you to see

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/19/02 at 06:40 PM Great fighting back piece, Anne, and expression of inner turmoil between the light and dark sides. Give em Hell! |
Posted by Glenn Currier on 10/20/02 at 04:16 AM Anne, no victim here! Powerful woman, medicine woman, make your lightning and thrust it at the egos whose blindness keeps them in the darkness of their own purgatory... The grace-full ending sparkles with strength and soul. |
