Gentility

  Gentility Gentleness of mannerNobility of heartHonor and dignity Qualities That Define me But Kindness dies Wiih your lies And another side Calls up monsters from deep inside No fool Am I

mmm, love that you admit,

the monsters are already inside you. Perhaps gentility is a false prison for them? cheers, Jess "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin.

Gentility

J.B. Longo-Geremia Thanks, my friend. I think tho that when kindness and gentility have been dishonored, silence is not my way. To say and s tand up to the "monsters" within another may demand those "monsters in you to fight back. Ego? Don't know. But the things I said t o this pe r son needed to be said-- and clearly. Maybe just that "gypsy" in me. OR maybe. a need to reestablish the self worth that w as brutally taken away f rom me, and which I allowed. :) joe

I also have a congenital trembling disorder, type very slowly, multilppllee repeats. Mine doesn't have a name yet, but it runs in my family. All they call it is anticipatory tremors, 'cause it is worst when most under attention. Weird. cheers, Jess
