Aimless drifting also fulfills an intention.

 I could not think of any poem or lyrics that suited this image but I loved it so much. Anyone have any ideas? |

Battle Hymn
by: Manowar
By moonlight we ride ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high our whips and armour shine
Hail to thee our infantry still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow the time to strike is now
...
Inspiration and finding the right 'poetry' is lacking here. The above somewhat suits the shot ... but I thought I could find better.

***Poem in need of a picture***
One Girls Life
Depressed, Doubting, Defeated.
Spirit Crushed- No Confidence.
Beaten down, Turning inward.
Never- I Love You, only insults,
Justified- âIts for the best.â
âWant you to be a better person.â
But I have to ask---
Whatâs wrong with who I am?
Am I that bad a person because
I donât dress in the latest fashion?
Or crave material things?
So what if Iâm comfy in camo?
Is being overweight a crime-
Worthy of constant humiliation
By the one who should love you most?
Canât even mother my daughter or
Love my sister without ridicule.
MY choices- always wrong!
HERâS- always ârightâ.
All decisions & ideas ridiculed-
Belittled for not being done her way.
Canât dress MY daughter in what I want,
Feed her what I want, do bedtime my way,
Or take her on outings or trips when I want!
Always belittled, ridiculed: âBad Mother!,
How dare I?, SO stupid!, White trash!,
You canât!, You shouldnât!â, even; âDonât!â.
Forever- âI will do itâ, always- âYou owe me!â
At first- No big deal.
Itâs whatâs best for the child--- Canât hurt.
Healthy meals, Clean clothes, baths, bed time.
Scheduled- Not so bad.
But does a day in sweats or deviation
From schedule = shitty mom?
Is it fair Granddaughter doesnât see-
Grandfather, Aunts, Cousins or Greats,
Just because a drives involved???
Controlling, Controlling, Controlling.
Baby, Money, Life.
How can I raise my child,
Make decisions for her-
When Iâm a 29 year old child my self?
Overprotected. Sheltered.
Insecure. Unconfidentâ¦.Scared.
Got away for awhile,
Made some bad choices- I admit it.
But donât people grow & learn from mistakes?
Isnât that the point of âLife Experienceâ.
Must I be constantly reminded Iâm not perfect???
Humiliated for my past, constantly?
I am NOT a bad person!
I tried to conform, to bend, to mold-
Into what was expected of me.
Uncomfortable in my skin.
Need to be free to be me.
Must clothes make the woman?
Does dirt & hard work really hurt?
Punished for who I really am,
Praised for what I pretend to be.
Ridiculed; âIts not good enoughâ,
When doing what I love.
Not an easy path I have chosen-
But an honest one.
But no more will I drive & care for
The animals that I love,
No longer will I experience freedom
On a horses back. Not enough money made-
Not good enough for her friends & family.
Always ashamed of me & my dreams.
Constricted, Restricted, Never Free.
Who am I really? I almost forgot.
But deep down, some things stayed true.
Buried- But not forgotten.
I am; a poet, a dreamer, an artist,
Lover of hard work, animals & the outdoors,
Comfortable in dirt from hard work,
Camo pants, jeans, sweats & tank tops.
I am ; a mother, lover, daughter,
Sister & friend. Emotionally fragile,
Strong as steal when necessary!
Slightly gullible, goofy, lovable,
Loyal, defender, student,
Admirer of music & words.
Are these the qualities of a Bad Person?
Why canât she love me for who I am.
Instead of who she wants me to be?
In the years that come, my only hope;
Is that I love my daughter thru thick & thin,
No matter her âfaultsâ or the mistakes sheâs made.
I only want her to feel unconditional love,
The love I have never felt- Never self doubt.
I want her to be strong & Unwavering in her beliefs.
This is all I wish for. As for me-
I WILL survive!

Errrr... Could we keep it with words and pictures? I gotta confess I'm not that into music. I'm really stretching for some of these. I've got some prose I'm working on, too..... |
