Self Contained

I was told that one should grow up to be self contained.
To lay all of your needs onto another was unstable.
To rely on someone completely was to be rendered incompetent.
The helpless woman was a lazy facade.
The truth was well served when was to rely on yourself.
Trust your intuition and have confidence.
 So I kind of became a lone wolf. A Flutterby.
I met wonderful men, but none i could bounce off of equally.  I knew I had to choose to be alone with what I knew and observed, but self, I doubted.
Then, I see my beautiful friends left by their husbands to deal with the rearing and financing fo the kids all alone.
I see the resentment of the men to women for having so much free time,  whilst they toil at work.
I see the judgement of the job of motherhood held second to the making of money.
I have tried on many wonderful men ~
but I had to become self contained.

My own 2 feet, money,career, respect
my own mood,  thoughts on the subject,
eyes,  mind,  spirit,  music , dance, joy

whole and self contained
