I don’t need a happy ending
A knight in shining armor
Isn’t what I seek
I live in daily humor
I don’t need you to rescue me
What I crave incessantly
I mean, what I’m asking,
Quite honestly,
Is for you to force me to feel
Submit to my sensitivity
With vigor found inside you
Write until your heart bleeds
Then, fall into me
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister 
Amid all the power and the sense you fill in with this poem, its living in humor that I love…and then in the end, as with most all your poems ~ an ending to swoon the emotions. Leaves us all wondering, what goes on in this world of yours?!? 🙂

*blush* A view of your Red-Headed Queen, Dalo. 😉 Now, what I should have said was not only write til your hands bleed, but also:
Philosophize until your head pounds,
Capture photos of life until your heart believes,
Live extraordinarily until you need,
Then fall into me.
Oh, how I do love when you come seeking my poetry. Have a wonderful weekend in Hong Kong, Dalo. 🙂 Thank you for this huge smile this morning. Once again you flatter me with your visit. ♡

I liked this poem overall, and some parts I especially liked: the daily humor and that you don’t need rescuing. Reminds me of how our culture has moved away from those movies of princesses waiting around for their prince to come — and to more kick-ass heroines. Heroines are so much more interesting with a sword or bow and arrow. Also, I liked the next to last line. But then, I’m biased about writing 🙂

Hey, You. Glad you enjoyed this poem. Yes, I guess I needed to clarify that I’m not a mess. Just poetically messy, which I adore being. I mean this is me, but I don’t need saving, ya know?! I love when my strength is found as endearing. … Thank you, Gus. 🙂

Now I’m blushing! The emotions are the hardest part. Mostly because I worry too much about coming off negatively. I also crave feeling emotions, so I also look for intensity in poetry. It helps me. I’m very pleased that you’re pleased. You made my night. Thank you…

Thank you, Shari. I don’t know why it comes out that way. It always has, actually. I hid it away for a long time because I was embarrassed by my poetry. I am slowly becoming more welcoming of it, as I’m figuring out how to express it correctly. I may never master it, but I have found a way to be a little more comfortable with it. Thank you, my friend. ♡

Another specific question, less about the wording though. Any particular reason you centered the text rather than having it left-aligned in this poem?

Thank you, Louis.
Well, I had this picture chosen and felt my eyes were consistently drawn to the middle section of the photo. I didn’t want anyone to lose sight of the misty fog, as it is the center of my feelings today. Feeling a bit pensive, I guess and I wanted that to come out. That is my honest answer, one I normally don’t offer out as it sounds corny.
The answer I wanted to give was: Ah, vertical photo vertical words….
