Forge Ahead 2.0

I‘ll no longer allow a single soul to blame ME for their actions.

I need to shut my mouth and watch them deal with their own sanctions.

If someone seeks advice from me, I’ll gladly share my passions...

And I’ll stay and talk or walk away depending on reactions!

I refuse to lose myself just to feel appreciation.

When it’s clear to me I’m solo when it comes to motivation.

Alone I barge right through those walls, seeking vindication

When in truth, I find my actions simply hurt the situation.

I think that it’s paramount we sit and chat awhile

Regarding truth, love and hope – and things that make us smile.

Yet often, we can’t talk at all... we go that extra mile –

But end up being hurtful – spewing words that are just vial.

We need to meet on common ground – an open, neutral place

We’ll respect each other so much more when speaking face to face.

There won’t be time to argue; we both will offer grace…

We cannot speak in such a way the pain will not erase.

Things haven’t been too easy since this awful separation..

I believed that one or both of us would make a transformation.

But neither thinks the other changed – I made that observation

When we argued like so much before... We split in desperation.

Can we try again sometime? We have to persevere.

We need to have productive talks to make things much more clear.

And absolutely keep our cool – we cannot live in fear.

We still can’t be afraid to say the things we need to hear.

I'm searching for some insight and perhaps some understanding

As to what is stuck within your head and why you’re so demanding

I don't need empty promises - that's just your conscious talking

So let's work hard together to avoid us both from walking.

I find I’m often crying as I’m still so unaware

Of what has been life-changing – your silence is unfair

I don't believe it’s all my fault - we both have blame to share

But still I can’t go on like this – I feel such deep despair.

And now that I’ve reached out again, it’s YOU who holds the ball.

It’s completely up to you if you’ll ever talk at all.

I can be the first to try to climb our prison wall

My heart and doors stay open should you ever want to call.

I’ll always love you!

We simply need to talk this out…I KNOW that love is there –

I need to feel your heart and soul convince me that you care.

We simply need to talk this out…I KNOW that love is there –

I need to feel your heart and soul convince me that you care.

We simply need to talk this out…I KNOW that love is there –

I need to feel your heart and soul convince me that you care.
