The Color of My Dreams

Saturday, January 7, 2012

Negative No More

No lies
No secrecy
No self-serving
allowed.

No anger
No hurt
No subordination
to endure.

My dreams
feelings
opinions
do matter.

My children
happiness
husband
are my priority.

No more catering to the ungreatful.
My life is mine to be lived -
not to be abused or used.

  2. I guess there is a reason why I kept avoiding reading this poem. It is so powerful! And I have got to keep remembering that I am NOT alone in this and that my husband and my child ARE my priority and I don't have to keep trying to parent the rest of my family. Thank you for your bravery Cora. Thank you for your words and inspiration!

    1. Thank you, Eve. No, we're not alone in this, it just feels that way a lot of the time. Even though I don't post or comment much, I'm still greatful to have you, Angela, and the others to reach out to, to share feelings, thoughts, and compassion with one another.
