A single shred of dignity
I wish I would find a single shred of confidence Or that I would find a single shred of competence. Though, my quest for sanity have foreseen my insanity As my disgust and loath for humanity greaten A wise man once stated that hate comes from the heart But disgust, loath and abhor comes from the mind and reason Yet what is the most abhorrent and impertinent slur. Loath that comes from flaws and errors Or hate from wanting, wishing, desire them I covet to find a single shred of competence A single shred of a never bending will of steel. I covet to find a single shred of confidence A single shred of pride, dignity and reason. Is that too much to ask? |

I love you so much, Silke...
I just wish I could make it better somehow. If love could help, it would. I feel so inadequate... I'm always here, such as I am, and all for you Always Always Always ...and I still believe, because I have to believe in order to keep from despairing, that AMOR VINCIT OMNIA is, was, and will be true... *~Auf Immer und Ewig~* Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. |

Stunning work Silke as usual.
But in trying to grasp the last shred of dignity you are also guilty of not letting go What is it to be ? That must be up to the individual or the individuals around them to make that decision. We invoke our surrounds and it gives us choices, without a choice there would be no life, as the chick who breaks through the shell of its egg, the choices are clear, stay in and perish yet this option before meant life, or break out into the alien environment and try and survive. Arent you glad you're not a chick ? -just a thought Namaste John |

You are quite competent and dignified, ma'am. And don't let anybody tell you differently!
Much Love, Megan |
