Next week will be the seven deadly sins… This should be fun!
Patience is a virtue
Well…..
that is vir-false.
and anyway I’m not so concerned with virtue
I’m too far gone.
And I have no time to wait for you to analyze that.
And I won’t ask for it.
Because I don’t want lessons in waiting
I want what I want when I want it
I want my red velvet cake….. and I want to eat it….. and I want some milk too.
Yes, imagine that, if I buy a cake I want to eat it too
…too logical I know.
Keep up…
Good things come to those who wait
Yes, that’s nice:
But so do bad things
And bad things happen to good people.
So what’s my incentive exactly?
….your turn……
My back aches..
My legs quiver…
If I don't bust a nut i ain't making dinner…
I'm patient for him to hit the spot..
but he keeps wanting to chat to me back…
He screams i aint ready hes done..
Patience is a virtue, he best put a fortune on my night stand
I am pacing…
feeling impatient…
tired of waiting…
debating…
shit's frustrating…
my reflection, is shaken…
HE was just another mistake, and…
I calm down and awaken…
to the realization…
not quite a virtuous woman cuz I don't possess PATIENCE!
Damn we are all impatient, aren't we? lol … Nice job.
Here's a haiku:
Why are people mean?
Because they are raised to think…
Kindness is weakness.
Excuse me if I lack humility but I could seriously give a f%ckless.
And you big doing a step show on my last twinge of patience I possess.
The chastity provided by my lips holding the words itching to spew from my chest.
This act of kindness…I should be sent upstate for life.
For murdering these hoes with my diligence to remain lady like.
It is this charity that always goes unnoticed by ungrateful b*tches.
But my temperance can be dark like the opposite the light pitches.
I wish for all sake in earshot of my sound…
Please check yourself because the verbal arse-kicking is bout to go down.
Place ya bets!
“Goodie Two Shoes” has NEVER been in my vocab.
Why walk that straight & narrow path
When the partay’s at rehab?
@Naturally Sarcastic : I love the lines This act of kindness…I should be sent upstate for life.
For murdering these hoes with my diligence to remain lady like.
They say patience is a virtue…well, right now I'm not feeling too virtuous…after 5 1/2 years of waiting, i refuse to be a part of a relationship with the status of inconspicuous…either you what this, or you don't…and if you about the bullshit, then drop the front, see…I don't have enough time to waste it…either fall in line with what you say or stop denying the truth and face it…because when words and actions don't reflect, they mean shit…(sniff)…and im beginning to smell the aroma…don't drink, but sleepless nights got me wanting to take consecutive caps of Corona until I succumb to a sleep like coma, i wanna…be patient…but don't know if i can when its latent…
I am glad I stopped by to check out the work you are doing at your blog!!!
Okay…
Humility is all about silence in the face of self-love, contentment with not needing to prove your worth to anyone.
Patience is misconstrued by one who watches time pass by and does nothing to get where they wanna be, all about it will come to me.
Coz it won't and it never has, and if you got no drive then you're just had. Waiting on the bus at the wrong stop, you just gonna stand there til you drop?
Patience is faith in action, boo. Faith in the work to make things happen for you. It's fine to know results will take time, but get up and play the role that's yours to define.
No waiting on someone else to provide, diligently pursuing the other side. When the drive and desire and the work pay off. That's patience baby, patience enough.
Charity is to
Give of yourself without thoughts
Of consequences
Even-keeled
Never getting pissed
Not feeling rage
Temperance
Slow to anger
Would ask for the virtue,
but afraid of the test
I wish ur foundational..
Bottom sense
Was
Common sense
Get some
u guys are awesome
