Poetry?

I spend my days locked up in my room,

I waste my time thinking of ways I could escape the gloom.

I thought I could use the window,

But, I think I might fall.

I could whittle a hole in the wall,

But that would do nothing at all…

I could use the door, it’s true,

But what a bore!

I could make a hole in the floor!

I would fall right into the kitchen,

That seems safe, unless, there was a knife,

Then I might lose my life.

After all, I think I might use the door after all.

It still is such a bore to use the door…

Love?

"What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more..."

What does this phrase imply? In my mind it screams that women are the reason men all around the world are hurting emotionally. Why are we hurting men? Because women are cold, heartless, rude, and non-forgiving. This might seem a little bit rash on my part, well, it isn't.
Men have written love songs, poems, made movies, come up with elaborate date ideas, and put up with craziness once a month since the beginning of time. What do we get for all of this? We get put down, rejected, criticized, ridiculed, talked about behind our backs, used and abused, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. I might be generalizing some things, you might think, but I am pretty sure this is my life story.
Up until the age of 14 I was too awkward to ever have any interaction with girls, this continued till I was 17...at which time I moved away from Utah. The first time in my life I think girls even looked at me twice, and I didn't know how to react. Moving forward in time, things looked pretty good until I was 19 and went on a mission. 2 years of having to reject girls really makes it hard to come back to the aforementioned trials. (Refer back a few lines if you don't know what I am talking about.) Since the time I was 21 and free to date once more, I don't think I have had a second date. Not only have I not had a second date but getting the first one, I am not really sure was worth all of the work that I put into it. So after 3 years of frustration, I am to the point now, I want to be done with it all.

To quote some words of a great man, "Love me tender, love me sweet. Never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so. Love me tender, love me true. All my dreams fulfilled. For my darling, I love you, and I always will." - Elvis

This are words we (Men) wish that we could speak every day of our lives to the woman in our lives. Finding a woman in the world now that would be willing to listen to this is nearly impossible to find though.

Or if you don't want to listen to Elvis, the king, how about this little ditty. "When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul; She can bring him, such misery; If she has played him for a fool, he's the last one to know; Loving eyes, can never see.."

Even He, had woman problems. Why? Because that is what happens when you have to deal with women. Love is blind, are so are men in love.

So when a man loves a woman, and she knows it, please don't break his heart. Give guys a chance. We aren't all bad, unless we have been pushed to that edge, and have no other choice. Give us the benefit of the doubt, please...
