Fragile, like glass in your hand
For this heart of mine
Has been hot, then shattered
Do you understand...
Be gentle, for my share of pain
Has been on overload
Reaching for laughter, wisdom.
Dream is to travel
It seems farther away
Never thought someone could take
Another's dream, put them at Bay
I did not plan it this way

Everyday, I extend my reach
Somehow this pull someone
Has on me..
Tightens, its sounds like a screech
Going to pull back as much
As I can
Nobody deserves this power
My time is important
Even if this unkind person
Thinks It is not
"Be real" about quality
My value is not theirs to judge
Return Karma will come...
They will feel..
The Stand
Life is a gift, so is time
No more, will I allow
This unkind person to rob me
Karma payback will come around
They will find!
