Push Me!
Demand, I push you back
Open Me Up!
Force, my feelings out
Hold my arms down
Seize my eyes, as they attack yours
Feel it?
Feel that powerful tension
Don’t turn away
I need you to stay
Letting me win
Well, that’s often his way
Push Me, my whispered plea
Make me push you back
Open Me Up, I silently beg
Force my lack of feelings out
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
I have reread what I would like to post here in your comments…
My mind says… ‘better if you don’t’…
But we both know that I will listen to my heart instead…
Delete me if you must…
I seized your eyes in their attack
I’ve tempted you to push me back
Let flow on me what needs release
And give your heart… your love… some peace
I have heard your whispered pleas
And pushed you hard to set you free
I’ve opened you in white… in black
But have you heart… to push me back

Reminds me of Rocky–one in that series, where he had to be beat up to a point before he ‘pushed back’. Americans in general are like that. We’re pretty easy going, until a line is crossed.

You redesigned! Very nice look. Are you happy with it?
I liked the poem too. Who are you speaking about?

I did redesign. I can’t believe you noticed, Duke. I wasn’t thrilled with the either theme. I like the clean lines of this one a little better. I miss my tabs on the top though…not sure what I can do about that. What’s your honest opinion?
Thanks. I’m speaking to those in life who allow people to be too strong. I have a problem with holding everything inside and then get frustrated when allowed. I like some push back if that makes sense. I don’t always like being allowed to be right.

Well, I like it overall. But I do agree with you: it would be nice to have the tabs. You sure you can’t add them? (The professor always notices such things!)
It does make sense. The professor has felt it on occasion, for sure.

I need to investigate more.. the tab on the side isn’t as prominate as I’d like. You are the only one…aww. The professor is very sweet.
I’m in good company then..

I do like the commenting way better, I think. It’s better than the PL’s. That’s why I don’t like about my design.

I didn’t like how my comments went away. As I enjoy rereading parts at times. I hope I can make tabs. People were finally beginning to use them. I like your page.

This is really powerful, Audrey. Not sure what you had in mind when you wrote it, but I flashed on the old Edward Albee play, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe,” and the problematic relationship between the main characters, Martha and George. If you’ve seen the play or the movie, you’ll recall that Martha often battled George ferociously in an attempt to stir his emotions, and in an attempt to stir her own.

Thank you, Kate. I love that my words took you to that play. I know it well. I’m not a sharer or open about what I need from others. Sometimes I want everyone around me to not be okay with that, if that makes sense. Me, stubborn, indeed. A push back is a wonderdul feeling in a world where there is none.
Hugs!! 🙂
