For each time i have found love..
I have found loneliness..
For each time i have found joy..
I have discovered sadness..
For each time i had wanted love..
I could not be loved..
For each time i felt comfort..
I have had to let go and forget..
For each time i wished to understand..
I have had to accept it as it is..
For each time i tried to let go..
I have found myself holding on tighter..
I am but a broken Libra..
My scales will never be balanced..
For the center of my soul lays a void..
Only she will fill..

Truthfully, i been trying to balance it but never could balance love life with parenting and work. If only it were that easy as a Libra..

The strongest and deepest poem I’ve ever read Yoshi!

Sometimes when you don’t necessarily look or try to find something they will gradually come your way =]

I guess it’s the patience side of things i’m not strong enough at, it’s funny. I can be a patient parent, but i can’t be patient with my own heart
does that make sense?

Oh my! This moved, and touched my core because I can relate to it all to well. We are created to love and be loved, GOD made it so; but sometimes, we love the other more than we are loved in return (sadness), and when the time comes when we realize we need to move on, it’s a scary thought, the thought of being alone (holding on tighter). I have learned the hard way, that sometimes we need to let go, or else the thing we are holding onto will pull us under the water, when that something/someone is not “the one”. There is someone for all of us, I BELIEVE THAT!
And why is it that when we write, the verses, the paragraphs seem to flow when we are in some sort of pain, or “going through something” phase? At least for me, that’s usually when the juices flow. I want to thank you for being so open and honest with your writings.There seems to be a healing process which comes from writing, just as there is when we speak, for the reader/listening, and the writer/speaker. Gets the toxins out so-to-speak. Anyway, I can go on and on, don’t want to keep you with this long comment, lol. I will leave with this:
NOTHING BEATS BEING A PARENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely nothing beats being a parent! if it wasn’t because of my daughter i would have no healing to look forward to, nor anyone to truly live a fulfilling life for. I see her ever weekend and i feel great to start my week yet again.
You are so right, i too write my best works when i’m in pain or feeling like i’m missing someone. I think that’s why i turned to writing, so i can share how much pain I’ve felt and kind of also to see if anyone is / has gone through what i did and how they handled it, love the community I’ve become a part of
Thank you so much for dropping by my post

LOVE this! I feel this way often. There are so many times I want to pick up the phone and call my mom and then realize that she is gone. Makes things very unbalanced

That’s life isn’t it? wish it were easier to balance it but it never is

i’ve learned…that the love we seek..is our own…we can only balance our own scales….the rest is frosting….
