Array ( [sid] => 132518 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => When our hearts and minds are fussin. [time] => 2007-03-08 22:41:56 [hometext] => [bodytext] => When my heart and mind are fussin,
It seems impossible to send the situation truckin.
I am convinced; I’m in a confused state of mind.
Days like theses, I tend to break out that bottle of red wine.

When our hearts and our minds are fussin,
You better believe we are definitely stressin.
This poem is for the woman who is being abused by her husband.
Yet she loves him anyway, continuing to have meeting with her reverend.

Her heart says she loves him.
But her mind says this is wrong,
Get up girl, strike back, get that bat, and be strong!
But she knew if she did, it would have been a nightlong.

He physically and mentally abuses her,
And yet she sticks around for a little bit more.
Why, I ask, is it because you want to feel more heart sore?
When will you realize this is the real deal HARDCORE?

You’ve been in the hospital and he’s been locked up,
When are you going to say I’VE HAD ENOUGH?
When you’re at the doctor’s office getting an “UNSCHEDULED HIV CHECK UP”
Or when the correctional officer tells you to strip down and get ready for your close-up.

Death is next.
Nothing can make up for that, not even sex.
You must want to live at least for your kids.
I know you’re not ready to “forever” close your eyelids.

Focus, you have your friends and family to help you be strong.
Don’t believe him when he says you’re going to be all alone.
He’s not a real man; he is a punk and a bully.
Stop protecting him; say the word, I know a few that would love to knock his head silly.

Get your heart and your mind to float on one accord,
You have two children, I’m sure you have things to do that you’ve ignored.
Embrace life, stay positive, and come back to reality.
For you have been through so much, I hope you live everyday as if it was a Fantasy.

I feel like perhaps you have a friend or loved one who has an abusive partner, and this is a message to him or her to leave before it's too late.

I think that it many places you tried too hard to rhyme, and your words like "fussin" and "truckin" may have worked better as fussing and trucking -- and perhaps this poem sounds different in your head than in mine.

Overall, you did a good job of getting your point across in a way to touch our hearts and minds, and yet I believe it could have been worded better.

Keep writing, I hope to read more!

This is well put...I know these women believe that change is possible but unfortunately it rarely happens without a lot of outside help.
I wasted 22 years waiting for change....it never happened....I hope this wakes them up .
