She needs to be; herself
He needs to be; himself
Together they are united
~
Thoughts
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Mingle the minds
Create a tale for two
Individualism is madness
~
Needs
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Get it together
The hell with that
Merry Go Round
~
Goals
Hers, his; individual
Separate; not ideal
Personal success
Is motivating to both
Yourself and your mate
~
The strength is in the union
Restrain the individual
Weaken the bond

I was thinking about what people talked about when their was trouble in couple'dom'. It seems to me that people don't pay enough attention to how their actions impact their significant other. It's not about me, me, me and it's not about you, you, you; it's about we, we, we - made better because we invest in me and you. Got that? Makes perfect sense, eh? Tap out a shout out and let me know what you think about it all... love your comments and your visits to my space in the cyber world.

I really liked this poem... I believe it captures a part of what makes a relationship work: individuality must be maintained but not shrouded in secrecy. The key to maintaining unity and individualism is trust - without it, unity breaks down and individuality is lost.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Scoop!! Thanks for commenting and stopping by. Welcome to my blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat insight as always Tracy, your poem is really true. Individuality is important but a couple is a WE too and when challenges arise, seeing them as a WE will make all the difference. At some stage, the couple experience make us realise it's not all about us as individuals, that the world around exists and it is as a group we need to face life.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true Marie. My poem is exactly about that. It's about tending to the indiviual self to make the pair stronger. It's about not being afraid to invest in yourself, to allow your partner to invest in themselves and to come together in support. In a nutshell it's about realizing that their is no I in 'couple.'
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting. I always enjoy hearing from you. Have a great week.
