You must tell me the truth
Don't lie and cheat and mess with me
No hiding in a darkened booth
Look at me when you speak
Think about the things you do
Do unto others, always seemed good
All the answers are inside of you
How strong are you
What can you tolerate
Hurting the one you love
Obviously didn't make you feel so great
I'm afraid you'll try to handle this
As you always do
Fight and conquer all within yourself
Superman gets depressed too
No more hiding what gnaws inside
Cut it loose and set it free
Do not worry about what you say
Nothing could further shock me
I've learned through all this
Just a few things about us
We're connected, it's true
And I'm glad we got on the bus
~~And as the boys would say
"that's when it all began"

Laura Horner
"that's when it all began" is a line from the Grateful Dead tune..."That's It For The Other One". I've enclosed the stanza the line derived from:
"Escapin' through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal
At the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land"
Words and music by Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann

Oh wow, Laura. How wonderful! There is conviction, strength, wisdom
and so much comfort offered in your words, as is the same with all of
your works.
I LOVE that you put the GD piece at the end, and I can see why you
came up with the thoughts you did. This is excellent work, hun.
I know there is still so much troubling you and your situation, but
damn woman! you can sure expel emotion with great ease
and cleverness! I love the whole piece, but this line, for some
reason, had me linger ... ever so briefly ..
Superman gets depressed too
Just wow. There is SO much to ponder in that one line alone.
Brilliant job sis. As always. :)
*hugs you tight*

Laura, a lover's diatribe (not quite, but couldn't think of a softer word) that virtually screams frustration and a desperate urgency for answer. Still, careful what you ask for, even if its only in poetry...

Excellent write, Laura with much wisdom. A masterful piece which attends to the quality of our communcation: The need to be open with your feelings and opinions, don't give up on yourself. A candid and provacative style add to the caliber of talent expressed in your poem.
Well done my friend
PS Sorry I haven't been able to keep up, I 've missed reading your poetry. I'm hopiing things become less hectic
Peace Laura
