Everyone wants to be free ......

Free from one thing or the other
or free to do one thing or the other.

Free to speak.....
but words can hurt.

Free to drink.....
but not referred to as an alcoholic.

Free to roam....
but still have shelter.

Free to dance.....
but not have sore feet.

Free from physical work.....
but have the comforts of life.

Free to hate.......
hatred begets hatred.

Free to eat......
but not be a glutton or anorexic.

Free to see.....
but not called a pervert.

Free to sleep......
and accused of being lazy.

Free to feel....
but not referred to as emotional.

Free to Love.....
and be truly loved in return.

Free to give....
but also free to take.

Free to take....
and not give anything in return.

Free to have sex....
and not referred to as a dog.

Free to trust.....
but not referred to as naive.

Free to be ambitious......
but not referred to as ruthless or cold.

Freedom doesn't really exist for if it did
none of the clauses would matter....
and if none of the above clauses didn't matter
......... there would be chaos.

So at the end of it all
everyone wants to be free
but not everyone has considered the REAL price of freedom.

Walls

Walls are built to protect....

Care and consideration should also be taken
......for the more successful you are
at building the wall, the higher it is, the more
in penetrable it is.......

The more likely that which was built to protect
.............................. will imprison.

I can, could, but I wouldn't

Some can and could
while others can't and couldn't

Some will and would
while others will but wouldn't

Some shall and should
while others shan't and shouldn't

The decision to go either way
strongly depends on the repercussion

Though the words couldn't, wouldn't shouldn't
all sound very negative,

They are words that can save a situation,
the user and the receiver.

I say I can, I could, I shall, I will, I would.
I say I can't I won't, I shan't and I shouldn't

when I know that the out come will
be positive to those around.

For it is not I before others.

Torn

It has been a long time coming
a very long time coming.
I knew the day would come
When I would have to see you again.

I feel safe like I did years ago,
I feel warm like I did years ago
I have fond memories
and some still make me smile.

But seeing you and touching you
was ohhhh and ahhhhh.
I wish you could come with me,
I wish I could stay.

I hate saying good bye cos it always hurt
and I feel like that young girl again on my way to
boarding school and hugging the shirt you once wore
so I could still smell your cologne.

Only this time I have no shirt
just the smell of you on my pillow
and thoughts of you and a mini us.
Thoughts I say .....thoughts

I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
For I have known you for a quarter of a century
Should I say yes and damn the consequences
Or should I say no and send you home

For you have a family of your own
I'd rather hurt me than hurt the three.
I'll heal I know ......I believe in
reaping what you sow.

Look Round

Wishing for one thing or the other is not enough
One has to wish, want, desire and totally believe.

Life has a way of shielding us from pits and falls
when what is wished for and wanted is not forth coming.

The best attitude would be to view every lost wish
as Life's way of telling us this isn't right.

Look round the corner, be optimistic, have an open attitude
and one might just get what is really deserved....... the best.

Dreams and reality

Some dream to speak
Some dream to see
Others dare to dream.

To see the future is a gift
To be able to change it is a feat
To accept it is to be noble.

Dreams can be reality
A wonderful reality
Temptations are a common thing
But make believe in dreams
And experience a wonderful kind of reality.

Make room

Everyone can make some room
in their hearts.

Best to make room for love
in ones heart......

If not...... evil will take its place
and make a home there.
