Ruthless
RUTHLESS
All i need is loyalty
to my true self, the real me.
The faith and pride
cannot hide
the love i have left
to give, inside.
For one who someday
will see,
What I can dream
and waht I can be.
How great life is
when you find
The truth in yourself,
Your peace of mind.
There is only one way
I know how
And that's to go all out
There's no stopping me now.
I've planted the stakes
into this lot
Nowhere left to go
but to the top.
With you or alone
I'm fine on my own,
I'm gonna make it this time
I'll have what's mine.
No holding me down
In my new gown
of glory and gems
Because I don't need him.
I don't need them.

thanks poetvix, it was one of those moods that struck me. i'm sure you know how it is. glad you liked it, thanks for the comment.
Awesome, really uplifting and well written! LFx
"In my new gown of glory and gems" was the best line... the rest felt tinted... if that's what you are than you don't feel the urge to say it... self absorbed is not only considering yourself, it's 'being all that you can be' and rest in peace my homies, peace of mind so i'd hate to think that i'd boast about myself, it's a facade to get over on yourself

Literature Fairy, as always thank you for the comment, glad you keep reading. Shaisty-Chase-Tea, i appreciate the critique although im slightly lost in your comment. thank you though. This piece was just a get it out and put it on paper. Not much else to it, not all my heart and soul put into it like most of my stuff. Just enough to get my point across if you know what i mean. but i appreciate your comment and your reading. thank you
RUTHLESS PATIENCE
AN AMERICAN SONNET
Yes, let us not forget the point:
which way will this fine lady point?
She clearly needs some loyalty
to be the one she wants to be.
Black Widow, Wonder Woman, Rogue,
and She Hulk hardly are in vogue,
and loyalty gets pretty thin
when you're the only one that's in.
What would she do if someone came
who saw that she were not the same?
How might it ruffle ruthlessness
to feel the truth in love's caress?
We chase our dreams, and they chase us,
while life waits patiently for us.
