One Way Street (Poem I created)
One Way Street (08/26/06)Making friends is not easy.
And trying to find a girl friend is even harder.
Everyday, I try to talk to girls,
They love giving me problems.
I try to get a gf,
All they do is say NO.
I tried to get along with the girls just fine.
But I found out, most are so unkind.
I can’t believe, I felt sympathy,
For all those who had a problem with me.
The haters always tell me lies,
But I was not the one who put the tears in their eyes.
They make me feel like I’m on a one way street
moving in the wrong direction.
And since they hate me,
They never wanted a connection.
This makes me afraid.
Since I’m always on this one way street,
I’ll make my move too late
And love will get left behind.
But I did learn from this one way street.
I learn not to let anyone take advantage of me.

It would be an interesting to take this poem and turn it upside downI May be an eye opener.
Example:
Making friends is easy.
And not trying to find a girlfriend is even easier
Everyday, I don't try to talk to girls,
They love giving me no problems
I don't try to get a girlfriend
All they do is say yes
I don't try to get along with the girls just fine
But I find out most are so kind.
I believe, I felt sympathy
For all those who had no problems with me.
The lovers always tell me truth
But I was the one who put the tears in their eyes.
I make them feel like they're on a one way street
moving in the right direction
And since they love me
They always wanted a connection
This makes me strong
Since I am never on this one way street
They'll make their move too soon
And love will get ahead
But I did not learn from this one way street
I learned to let anyone take advantage of me.
This is called "the turn around" Byron Katie, The Work. It sometimes may help us to see how we are sabotaging our own happiness by putting the responsibility back where it belongs...with us. Whenever we place blame on another or out there, we feel disempowered and then resentful, unable to change our circumstances. But attitude is everything. Must change from the inside and watch the outside reflect our attitudes back to us.
remember that pal and try to live this way.
