I offered Blood, Sweat and Tears…wasn’t enough. What more could I give, my dignity? My self-respect? How could one contend with a price asked to pay beyond one’s self value? Enough IS ENOUGH! Deliberate darts of evil spewed into the heart and Psyche. How much disregard might one endure? Loved or loveLESSness was the question…to feel unappreciated, dismissed, worthless and a “take it or leave it” pushed to the side mess was the image I began to accept. Begging to be met half-way, only to be met with ridicule and mockery. I fought for what I thought to be the love of my life til’ knuckles were bare…down to the white meat I still cared. Eyes wide SHUT…I turned a blind eye and a deaf ear! For I didn’t want to believe that the one I held to my heart so dear…couldn’t love and appreciate the fact, that I loved enough to the point of Blood, Sweat and Tears.

i meant hang in there not hand
