We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Survival of the Fittest

I could close my eyes-
fall to dreams.
fall to pieces trickling away,
a distance so far
the memory is the haze
of a place that was different.

I could go through the motions-
branded.
an underlying sick in my soul
to the quiet observer . . .
a character challenge.
a flaw.
a negativity
locked away from survival.

I could cry myself alive-
flooded back to my passions.
to my strength.
to the child who wouldn't sit still.
the child who wouldn't settle
for less than beautiful.

I could wake up-
smile to the chilled rain.
a stiff carpet.
a friendsless hour.
a silent phone
and a hungry tummy.
