"I'm losing control
falling by the wayside"

~People In Planes



It's okay to feel this way
that's what they say
anyway

and no one has total control
of anything in life anyhow
so take what you can get
with a humble bow

they say it's okay
but they really don't see
they don't know
what it's like to be me

losing control
falling by the wayside

No one can truly know what it is like to be another person, unless they have walked a mile in their moccasins. People who care about you may take the time and effort to try and understand what you may be experiencing on the inside, but as you say, no one can really know what it is like to live in your skin.

Hang in there, Dixie! You have many compassionate friends here at pip.

Or, m'dear, is this poem inspired by the quote? Or did the quote represent how you truly feel?

permit me to be so bold and pollyanna, but in your poetry, you have left enough crumbs along that wayside that you'll never be truly lost along it...you'll be found and you'll be safe...imho

Personally, I think your poetry is a map to your soul.  So you can never be truly lost - just maybe a bit off course at times.  You are such a good writer.

No one truly knows how the other feels inside , but friends remain side by side
