They Say...

They say that you are wrong for me
That you are not the one
They say that you will break my heart
When it's no longer fun
They say that you are playing
with my body, heart and mind
That when you find someone else
I'll be left behind
They say that the timing is wrong
I should abstain from you
I'm living in sin...I'm going to hell
What's a girl to do?
They say that I am breaking all the rules
It's not how they would play
They think that I will lose this game
Because it's not their way
They say that I'm a bad mommy
Because for you I care
I am a horrible example
To her, I'm not being fair
They say that I have taken on
way too much to handle
That I should care what others think
Right now, I'm quite the scandal!
Well, what the hell do THEY know??
They don't feel the butterflies
that flutter deep inside
They don't have the faith
In you, I can confide
They don't know what it's like
To be wrapped tightly in your embrace
To see the look that's in your eyes
The smirk upon your face
The way that you support me
In what I'm trying to do
I've learned the hard way
That real friends are few
Being a mommy
Of course tops my list
A nurse to Be
School is a b**ch!
Working full time
Gotta pay rent
When my day ends..,
I wonder where it went!
Yes, I'm a very busy person
with that I will agree
But my priorities are sound
'will they ever see?
I'm trying to teach Sheridan
to be a strong and loving girl
And she knows without a doubt
That she is the center of my world
In the time afer I get home
Once Sheridan is in bed
With work and school completed
I can start to clear my head
I crave your arms around me
I long to see your smile
To get lost in those big brown eyes
And be Colleen for a while
Not a mommy, not a student
not an employee
Just need to relax, be loved and kissed
need some time for me
Your touch warms my skin
While your words soothe my soul
You listen to me babble
About my endless goals
You offer me your guidance
while you play softly with my hair
You whisper that you love me
I know how much you care
Friends first and foremost
That will always stay the same
Friends turned into lovers
To me, it's not a game
No promises for the future
Today is what we hold
The time I have with you right now
Is more precious to me than gold
They say that I won't make it
Can't wait for me to fail
But with you by my side
I know I will prevail
Thanks for not caring
For ignoring what they say
For taking a chance on me
For being here to stay
So let them give their criticism
stand in judgement of me
For the first time in my life
Of their opinions I am free

I read this one before you posted it, but I figured I'd leave you a lil' comment anyway... Great write! Well spoken... even more so since I know the ins and outs of your little situation. I really enjoyed this one.

| I question alot of this poem actually.... How can your daughter be your world when you have not one min of time for her?? How can this man who holds you so dear be someone good for you when all he is doing is controling your mind and trying to turn you away from the only people who really do love you and tha isyour husband and your family. People who really dont know you keep bailing you out one day you will be in need and you will have alienated everyone who really does give a crap about you and you will then know how it feels to be alone. Your daughter will grow up fast and if you continue on this path she will resent you something awful.... Is a good lay worth losing your daughter your husband and the people only weeks before you wrote this you called best friends seek therapy honey you are in dire need. |

Some pretty strong stuff from someone who left themselves "anonymous", however, judging from your response I believe I may have a firm handle on who you are. If not, all the points can be easily understood in a general sense.
Rather than bother with unmasking who you might be, as that is ultimately unimportant, I will say that for a person who had the bravery to toss flaming arrows at someone anonymously doesn't take a lot of effort or care. Especially the care that would suppose themselves a "best friend".
Have you carefully examined your own home, truly? How much honesty is waiting there, at your own house? Hmmm, are you brave enough to check your own armor for chinks with your magnifying glass?
For a person who feels alienated you certainly seem to know (or at least judge) a lot. If your hurt by what has happened, as your verbage depicts, why not find a better way to release your feelings.
If you genuinely care, as a family member should, why not show it-instead of taking your usual path and lashing out and assaulting defenseless doors, by sitting down and talking with this person about your issues and her daughter that you say you care so much for. Even if it solved nothing and you agreed to disagree with different viewpoints, you could least say you tried, made a genuine effort (Surely you don't think that is what your response was), its even in the Bible, don't tell me all those hours were wasted in Church, well, at least when you were forced to go when you were younger.
Not a great example for your own children, of course, I am sure you would teach them better than that when responding to a situation or confrontation. Weren't you taught better than that?
Please don't misunderstand, you are certainly allowed your own opinions. However, bear in mind, that is all they are, time may or may not bear out what you say to be true. No one knows for sure.
But either way your attempt or method of communication for someone you have known longer than I, and supposedly care for so much is extremely crass and devoid of thought.
This is assuming of course, that you were sincerely trying to reach out and not just cause needless pain - (I am sure a sister or "best friend" wouldn't do that.) Besides it being pointless, not to mention it says a good deal about you as a person.
Regarding your charges against me, please feel free to contact me and have a dialogue. However, regardless of your feedback, if any, this will be my last post on the forum since this is an inadequeate way to solve this matter.
