How can we ask for things we don't give? The last one stands out for me the most. I guess over yeas of feeling disrespected, demeaned and not being considered...I have been accused of not being respectful. I guess it's been hard to just smile and take it, it's been hard to give someone something they never gave you. My behavior has been off the charts at times...all from frustration. I have realized over the years if a person is unwilling to change there is no need to get bent out of shape about it.

I am dancing in the midst of the lines, leaping throughout the crescendos. I am right there lost in the verse of a song, wading in the percussion, reveling in the staccato and falsetto. Can you see me there; it's the place I feel most at peace. Hanging on the strings of a love song and drowning in its lyrics. Can you see me, I am right there lost in the verse of a song.
