Roses Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Stand Up & Be Counted You were not to know the secret I kept, Not to know the tears I wept. Alone, afraid, my place in life, Silence - the ultimate sacrifice. But I saw a path, a new way to go, I wanted it, I needed it so. My feelings flowed, I let it go, I was niave, how was I to know. You protected the 'family', helped us all, You tried, but didn't help me at all. You say I should have talked to you, I was unsure and scared of you. Your moods went up, and they went down, I sometimes thought that you would drown. How could you expect me to lean on you? You changed all the time into someone new. I should have left, just runaway, But loyalty and devotion made me stay. So I locked it up, down deep inside. I shut my eyes and tried to hide. But here, today, I stand anew. I know just what I have to do! I'll make my stand, I will be heard, The bad will out, you take my word. And to my children, young and sweet, I give these words - "never admit defeat"!! Hold your head up high, stand up, be counted, Your feelings, by me, will never be doubted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzywizzy Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 :rolleyes: That is a fantastic poem Roses. It really hit the spot for me. I think it was good to have the children in the last verse because they are our present and future. I keep trying to focus on mine in order to keep reminding myself why I tolerate my inner pain and keep on going. Thanx for sharing the poem. Take care, Tizz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
