  • Is - Life - Fair

     

    Have you ever climbed,
    a mountain in flip flops though,
    to appreciate what that is like
    Impossible that's right
    No one will understand,
    why you do
    Its not fair, but true
    From the beginning of time,
    women in the middle,
    men a free ride to glide,
    out of the norm,
    women shunned,
    by family friends,
    and, social ends
    The world does not change overnight,
    motives aren’t based,
    on destroying,
    another relationship in sight
    You didn’t ask to fall in love,
    with someone,
    who’s with someone else right
    For some of you,
    you were always in love with them,
    waiting for the right time,
    or they left you for another,
    still loving them
    It never stopped,
    it doesn’t stop either
    Love is not limited,
    to whether or not,
    the person that you want,
    is with someone else
    Love doesn’t fit into,
    any box
    So, is it wrong?
    Is love wrong?
    If it’s love,
    then why does,
    it have to be this hard,
    or have to come,
    at expense,
    of someone else's,
    happiness in events
    Love is not defined
    by situation,
    neither a choice,
    that you made by voice,
    despite best efforts, morals,
    values, and rejoice
    People telling the wise
    Is love wrong?
    If love is not wrong,
    then neither is your actions,
    far from
    You may have a timing issue,
    meaning that what you feel,
    Is right and it’s true.
    It's destiny at play in every way,
    but the TIMING is not yet right
    It's still too soon
    There is more for him,
    to do on his end,
    before he’s free,
    to be with you
    Timing has nothing
    at all to do with
    feelings,
    expectations or what you think,
    should happen float or sink
    Time runs a course,
    without answering,
    to anyone or anything
    Slowing down as attention is payed
    then staring creates,
    a dead stop
    Just because it is true,
    does not mean that,
    it will, and should happen,
    in a time that works for you
    As long as it is true
    does mean it will,
    happen to you,
    in a time that works for you
    Just don't obsess
    The lack of validation alone,
    is enough
    to drive you over the edge,
    Never mind the waiting,
    hoping to hear from him,
    this is not something,
    that you do
    If you have a choice,
    you do it because,
    you know that you,
    can’t do anything else
    You can’t help how you feel
    You are the invisible woman,
    in the seal
    You didn’t get this far
    by giving up or having
    a weak constitution,
    In place
    You fought to get this far
    Until the time is right, it’s wrong,
    until things have to happen,
    they drift along
    Every day, every moment
    has a deeper meaning.
    In a million ways,
    that we are tied and connected,
    to each other all the days
    Meeting when you did, as you did,
    connecting when and how,
    had a purpose, and vow
    That purpose was not,
    so that you could,
    and should,
    be together immediately,
    for the good
    Your life, your relationship,
    your journey together,
    is not just about being together
    in a second,
    that is clever
    You both also fit into,
    a greater destiny
    One that you’ll both fulfill,
    when the timing is right eventually
    Nothing stays the same,
    time changes everything
    Seasons change, people change,
    so must you also change
    The question is whether,
    or not it’s for the best
    Experiencing being,
    the other woman
    is going to take a toll,
    nonetheless
    emotionally and physically,
    YES
    You have to strive,
    to a better version of yourself,
    to keep growing, and evolving,
    is important to the self
    The trouble with that,
    is that some,
    who have experienced,
    it also gave up part of the way,
    and, quit
    In giving up, they are left with regrets,
    of very bad memories that stay,
    having felt like they’ve wasted,
    months or even years,
    of life anyway,
    when they left, and went away
    The biggest hasn't yet recovered,
    from having submitting themselves,
    to that situation,
    only to be seemingly left out in the cold
    They are wrong plain, and simple
    Know one can,
    neither should they attempt,
    to discourage you,
    from a love that you feel,
    in your heart of hearts to be true,
    especially if you’ve already
    gone through all the motions,
    of losing your marbles over it to
    Seriously, it’s stressful
    Let no one steal your joy,
    Let no one’s failures,
    project on your own life
    It's true
    Temporary part of your journey,
    but very much,
    a temporary one to
    There are only two options for you,
    give up and call it a day,
    chalking up the time,
    lost to experience, and pay
    Or you PUSH ahead,
    like the stream train said,
    knowing that everyday,
    brings you a little closer,
    that this is not all for nothing,
    a rainbow at the end of the storm,
    darkness gives way,
    to light eventually,
    to be fully born
