Do you know how long it took me, <br />To discover with a keeping of my peace of mind? <br />With a few trying to take if from me, <br />By leaving obstacles on my path intentionally? <br /> <br />You have NO idea what it took me to realize, <br />Those who disguised with ambush, intrigue... <br />And deceit to have me believe, <br />The peace I enjoy now was not what I needed. <br /> <br />But like you... <br />They too had NO idea what I would do to keep it. <br /> <br />'Why are you pointing to your front door? ' <br /> <br />You can go out the back if you prefer? <br />And don't count on me being diplomatic. <br />Within my habitat I'm not into that. <br />So do you want what's behind door one or two?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
