Whispers Of Strength

Simple solitude escapes me now,
a time when I can just be at peace,
not worrying about what all problems I have to face,
nor the people to whom I wish to please.

I stand in the face of a decision,
I am not afraid to make it,
for I stick to what I believe is right,
and I am not afraid to apologize if my logic is wrong.

I refuse to sit back with idle hands,
I will work until this task is complete,
not one person nor any army of their friends,
will tear me down-this wall is built strong.

I have to keep saying the little motto in my head,
smooth sailing does not make skillful sailors,
so I will know that I am suffering for a reason,
and it will only be a season-until this problem is gone.

I Am Such A Girl

Many ice cream bowls and romance movies later,
I find the answer to the question in my mind,
is it wrong to hurt after seeing your crush with another,
my answer-absolutely not.

Though I be not attached to said crush,
it hurts when a wish is not granted,
all to easy for me to work through these said hurts,
I have known many before.

Being a woman means dealing with stupid and endless introspection,
why not me-why not anyone-why not now,
when will it be-who will it be,
and what is taking so long?

So here I go again on my own,
keeping a smiling face and my sad emotions seemingly long gone,
seems like twenty years it will be,
until I meet a decent guy that is interested in me.
