Flower

From a flash of broken light
you were born, that was your right
You were such a pretty flower
Controlled by the Weeds of Power
Left with nothing but a shell
Condemned your soul to live in Hell
The future's come, but you can't see
A field of weeds won't let you free
Day after day you gasp for breath
Wishing that life wasn't your death
Every freedom has a price
And yours has left you with a vice

So close your eyes and count your tears
Hope that another flower will soon appear
To take away this loneliness
And fill the holes of emptiness
You push onward to make a break
But how much more are you willing to take?
One last chance to make a deal
You're up next to spin the wheel
They shroud the sun you haven't faced
A flower so pretty, yet gone to waste
A voice calls only you can hear
Helping you to somehow persevere

When Winter comes, you start to cry
Take one last breath before you die
Memories begin to fade away
You lived long enough to see the day
A flower so pretty, if only you had bloomed
You took everything that you consumed
Now here you are at your final rest
You know in your heart that you tried your best
The Weeds had made you so corrupt
No one would dare to interrupt
But gone now are the Weeds of Power
And with them, they took you, Pretty Flower

Redfeathers. Always.

When she get's better, give her my

She's very much Loved

I love you red

i only met Red a couple of times and she is a great larf. the best story about her is when she came to see Maceo and Candy at the place i used to work and after the gig, Candy was waiting outside for her crew pick up all her gear. the band outside with her, sitting on the gear making sure it was safe (whoever said the music biz was glamarous was wrong). anyway, Red just walked right up to Candy and it was like, "hey girl, how you doin'?" and Candy was like "hey Red, blah, blah , blah!"
me i'm like:

Now more than ever, Redfeathers needs all the prayers and thoughts u can give her. Pray for her whether u are agnostic, believer or atheist. Pray if u have never prayed before, give her all the love u can muster.
Orgnote me if u need to.

I love u Nicole, u are a sister that I have yet to meet, and there are so many things we haven't been able to do yet - have great laughs, dance, pour drinks on people's heads, drool over men. Please come back to us love, please don't go into the darkness.

for Redfeathers. Always and forever.

Red, it took me a longtime to learn to love myself. If you can't do that right now, please believe that we love you and I pray to God that our love substains you. I am nothing more than a phonecall away.

We are all still here for you hon

Red:

She's ok, for now. Please continue to send your love to her through this thread, I will save it and show it to her when she feels better.

Always for Redfeathers

Careful honey, u'll get told to mind your attitude like I was

Teacher said:

Are you kidding???? Then i will have some words for the one that tell me that!!! All did was post a beautiful thread with a lovely sentiment on it and it was locked.. while some other ones are still going strong with similar words in it.. It is hardly fair.. BUT whatever i guess. I surely hope the Ian syndrome isn't rubbing off on certain others here...If we are gonna have threads locked becuase of what Red is going through then have them ALL locked and not lock some and not others. It makes a very bad impression!

I have not chatted with Red Feathers but understand you are not good so I just hope you are all ok and have no lasting prob. Nothing is worth punishing yourself, whoever you are - I am not religious but one thing I do know is that we are all unique and have one shot at this life - so make the best of it and celebrate your positive experiences. Ditch anyone or anything that makes you feel low or down - its not worth your energy. I am sure whoever / whatever you are you deserve the best in life so fingers crossed for you and your nearest amd dearest

i read your comments and while i didnt moderate them i still felt it crossed a line..you can be encouraging and supportive of a friend without taking negatively about another individual..

there are two sides to every story.....be supportive without being judgemental...

i commend all of you for your support of red right now....but is an online forum the appropriate place to show that support? it appears to me like this girl needs some real physical support..if your her friend the last thing you should be doing is feeding into online hysteria..thats not healthy for her at all...


i have hope that red will come out of this ordeal a stronger and even more beautiful soul...

sosgemini said:

Excuse me.. but what exactly did i say so wrong.. this was MY post to read...where did i "feed" into anything.. I was simply showing my support to HER and telling her I was here for her..

My post (see below)

Listen, I know things seem rough right now and times aren't the best.. I have been there.. The space you are in right now dosen't seem to be the brightest or the biggest but trust me it will get better. Everytime I get on the org and I see your heart-wrenched threads, I almost feel like crying. I can see and feel your pain and your anger... Please know I am (as always) here for you if you feel like talking, venting or just want a little laugh.. and know you have many many friends on this org who will lend an ear or a shoulder if you need it.

Yes you are right.. there are 2 sides to every story and that is fine and dandy.. i wasn't taking sides on anything hon.. I didn't even mention anything about this person..

Sorry if you felt it crossed any lines.. but i dont!

sosgemini said:

My post didn't say anythign other than what this one is.. so WHY ISNT' THIS ONE LOCKED???

BabyCakes said:

i was refering to your first post...i've never read the one above.....i think everyone is trying to make sure that emotions arent taken to the point of extreme...red has indicated a desire for help..but giving that help in the forums might not be the healthiest and best for her...

ya know what im getting at?

the moderators all care for redfeathers as a part of the community...keep that in mind when they are conducting activity...they arent doing it to be negative..they are trying to help..and we are only human...none of us are infallable....but please respect the choices and hard decisions that have to be made...

i think we all need to go out and enjoy the sun for a lil while....

sosgemini said:

Nobody is still answering me as to why my post was locked? Can someone please tell me?

BabyCakes said:

Maybe this?
