Which is Worse?

I don't know what's worse.
Is it the fact that 
You try to make me feel 
less than
because
am not
thin
or blonde
or 
supermodel beautiful
or 
video vixen thick.
My hair does not grow
down 
it grows
up and out
I don't have the 
cute lil button nose
or flat abs
am not
the girl on TV
or 
In the magazines 
or in the 
Music Videos
I was feeling pretty good
about me 
and my brains
and my heart
and the love I give
until
you felt the need to 
bring out 
what I 
am not.
So what is worse?
Is it worse that 
you
(mistakenly)
feel 
that I am not beautiful;
or 
that 
for a 
brief moment
allowed you to 
make me
feel 
the same?

A good song...

What is it? 
What is it about a good song
that invokes a feeling?
Any feeling. 
Why?
Why is it that
Whatever feelings there are
there is a song that will 
match it.
Even if the words are not especially
profound
A song can say a lot
without
unprofound words.
Ahhhh....
It is music.
The music
can invoke the feelings
and match the feelings
wordlessly.
There is no good song
without music, 
because in music, 
one can hear
the voice
of angels.

It's Not Easy...

I suppose if it were,
I wouldn't be here;
neither would you-
there would be no us
no fuss.
But if it were easy
would we take it for granted?
I suppose we would.
Not to say that it is always hard,
but it is not 
always easy.
I get angry with you
and I want to leave
but I watch you sleep
And I know you are  
 so worth it.
I am worth it.
That is why you're still here.
That's why there is 
 still an us, and 
The fuss.
It's not easy.
But it is mostly good.
You are my husband.
I am your wife.
This is our marriage. 
And
It is worth it.
