Stood At the Edge



I stood at the edge of
trivialized, and minimalized.
As you rushed to push me over the side.
Habitating at the corner of
Planning, and Hope
Hope that things would change.
Not to re-arrange your
thoughts to stay with me
but to make peace.
Walking the streets of Dread.
Not ever knowing
what I did, or said?.
Finding Accept Avenue.
There was no me
and there was no
you.
You knew, I knew
there was no me
there was no
you.
You knew,
Yet still
you held to your hate.
Your appetite for
revenge
to
sate.
And while you gathered
your band together,
your band of theives
that took from me my Peace.
All the while I only asked release
And now you wonder
where is your peace?
Stand at the edge of doubt,
while you licked your wounds
you sat, and pout.
Your wounded pride.
You trashed me 'til
I couldn't see
anything left
for me
to
be.
Trivialized
and
minimalized
by
you!
So going to you
in my defense
what would you have done?
Please tell, but that you won't
You ignore, leave in suspense
Told I am stupid, oh so dense.
Accused of things
that you are the one
that does them
Reflecting
you.
Your mirrored,
vowed whim.
Why must all
be so grim?
Why not forgive
let us be a friend?
Put to this war an end.


Wrong was done from both sides
why not let forgiveness abide?

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Shararose, I don't think for a minute you would let anyone treat you that way. Minimalized. Not you. . I might be wrong. Must read it again. Maggie

Well Cusick...they have. I have feelings, and emotions, and I have a heart just like everyone else does, and you are right not anymore am I going to sit by and take it. A person does grow tired of cruel intentions being made toward them year after year.

Thank you!

A difficult subject to write about and you wrote it with power and strength

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Yes Kethry...it is. Just like right now. You just did it. You just minimalized what I have wrote...I got it. Thank you? No thank you. "Oh yes in all it's severity and anger."  It's severe when it happens to you year after year along with the trivializing. I have a question for you. HOw would it feel if it were you?
You never comment on any of my poems then the time comes where you can make a dig and you take it..I have to wonder if you aren't the same as this person that does this, or you are close PALS!

Actually, judging by this piece I would say you are rather good at this thing called poetry. I liked this poem for its depth, the way the protagonists' feelings are exposed. very well written.

Thank you Maddy, but this is not a subject that's easy for me. In no way do I lift it high as something to brag about. It is a very painful part of my life, and it should halt. Bless you for the critique. I appreciate your words. Since I know nothing about poetry I just write what comes to my mind.

Kethry why did you change your comment? This quote is no longer there.

"Oh yes in all it's severity and anger."

I do thank you for changing your mind, and editing your message. I appreciate your change of heart.

Love,

Terri,

This was great!! Adding this for sure.  I'm sorry people suck, you are such a kind soul you don't deserve this one single bit.
