Sometimes the words won’t come easy Sometimes they refuse to surface at all Tongue tied thoughts stammer Trying to speak free But Timidly they hide behind walls Of what will they think of me LGR(C)1/6/11 |

Yeah, that's what happens isn't it? The idea of certain kinds of rejection is a tough thing to face. Imagine how many things would have changed if certain individuals that had a thing for someone else weren't too shy to approach them. Whole new ball game. Too true Lori and a nice write once again. Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call |

Hi Lori. This is the perfect example of someone being their own worst enemy. Good writing. ~ Intolerant people are the people who do not believe the way we want them to, |

Hey Jerry, worst enemy in that one worries too much about what other people think? |

I like the staccato effect of the hard d's and t's to make the end of the poem sound like a stammering thought, delicious! Al |

I think most people fear rejection in one way or another, Lori. Always enjoy your thoughts. Ida |

Lori, I struggle with this kind of silence, too. It's not a quiet kind, is it?  ~Karen |

Very true! Well done, dear Lori. I like to think that I am totally independent of the thoughts of others with regard to my expressions, but the doubts do creep in at times. Just this morning I had an experience of this kind and I was able to trust myself in the end. For the first time in my life I have read a poem in front of a public. And the occasion was a funeral! I had loved the sweet old lady who has gone home and so I listened to my heart and wrote a poem for her. The priest was about to say "Ite missa est" when I found my courage and asked for a moment of attention to read my poem to my friend Ermelinda and to the assembly. I am glad I did, it felt all right. I think the majority appreciated it ... Love, Margherita |
