The rain clouds rolled in today, with it came dark thoughts and musings...
Help is Not on the Way
Help is not coming. That is the lesson I have learned well over the years. Watch the horizon until you go blind, but it won't change the fact that you must dry your own tears and save yourself. You will not die, life has cruelly wired us for self preservation, it is not so merciful as to let you simply cease to exist.
As a woman i have learned too that men are cowards. This may be why no one is coming. At their core, they understand only self preservation, compassion is left to us. No, he will run away when it hurts too much, or often when the faintest whiff of pain reaches his nostrils.
I suppose it is biological, we are wired to endure, the fate of our species depends on it, it requires only fleeting passion from them.
I suppose it is simply a cruel myth of culture, the idea of a hero, a knight in shining armor. Though it takes many years of watching to learn, eventually we see the truth.
Help is not on the way, but we will survive. You will stop crying out,except in fitful sleep, that is the only place this frivolous hope cannot be banished from.

I disagree, Men we have to learn courage yes, learn to nurture it and not confuse it with macho,or bravado. Cowardice does show it's ugly head often especially when it involves women, but at our core we are warriors who stand up to fear to attain those things we truly desire! Some men eventually get to this plato of manhood, unfortunately a lot do not, but it's in all of us. You have to have the vision to choose the one who'll show you his strengths, that seem like mountains next to his weaknesses.
