Bella en Rosa

I’ve shaped up to keep myself satisfied.
Now, I know it’s true; no husband, no cry.

I keep it tight for my own gratitude…
Not to win men or sacrifice in feud.

I’m gratefully able to myself hoist…
Over & over til my clothes are moist.

It’s no fine metric; but I can manage.
Pain equals gain?…some stoic old adage.

I don’t like the phrasing; but, truth is blunt.
Pain comes after; it’s only burns up front.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
