I spend the best time Of the day Doing writing for others, For which they take The credit. The files fall relentlessly Upon my head. I organize And type their business In a stupor, bandaids 'Round my fingers For all the papercuts. I am glad I am awake for This, so I know that it Is real and no nightmare. I would rather, I guess, Be aware That all of my valuable Writing time is gobbled Up by a rich and distinguished Man who pays me nine And a quarter, and makes Hundreds from a long Document. Resentment? You tell me. |

  (sigh) Such a wonderful expressive poem, sweet friend, at least you always get to write your own thoughts to us all too, and for yourself, and that is rewarding too! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a delight to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I would imagine most people can relate to this. Doing most the work, while someone else gets the glory. Interesting write, hope your finger gets better! |

Excellent expression, excellent use of a theme - this is strong writing...and yes, I can relate! Emotional "papercuts" always hurt the most and yet often are unable to find true healing. Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Ouch and Ouch! Irksome, at least, but not your poem. But hey, no finger cuts here, and no resentment either I trust. "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it." Wendell Berry |

Thank you all for your comments. I look forward to the day when I can spend my "best time" writing for myself. Must visualize! Must visualize! I guess I'd rather have a paper cut than a cardboard cut. |
