Hello everyone, I'm DreamerSpirit, after a long time I'm back at writing (more than two years!). I'm happy to see that many people I've met in this forum are still posting, and I'm also happy to see that this forum is still a wonderfull place to read good poems. This poem I'm posting today, I wrote it about one year ago and I was going to post it by then but for some reason I was not able to do so. In any case it's great to be back, and I hope you enjoy it!. Here it goes, The Helper He wakes up looks through the window and takes a look at the world he can't see it all, but he can see enough he is what he is, just one man he may feel sometimes like a hero he may feel sometimes like a villain but he always pursues the same goal Justice he sees a friend in need, through his big window he goes, he helps, he stands by him, he walks side to side with him he helps him to go on he feels great, and so he returns to his normal life he looks to the window again yet god has a sense of humor he has a problem, yet nobody can help him because he doesn't want any help although the helper has a great ability the ability to understand and help people he lacks the ability to accept help is he a hero? is he a villain? or is he just an egocentric fool? whatever he is, he is suffering he has always suffered but, he prevails and he looks again through his window and helps anyone he sees in trouble yet he knows that one day he is going to be in real trouble! and who is going to help him if he has never allowed himself to accept help? that is a problem he alone must solve ---- |

Interesting write. Accepting help also takes courage, sometimes we really don't know if someone is genuinely going to help. Makes me think.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Well now, I have to say, welcome back! The ambiguity of this piece is wonderful so it promotes thought evoking images and sends the reader on a search for closure. That's always good in poetry. Eric |

Are you stalking me?  I swear I thought you were speaking of me :P Eh, Maybe because "The Helper" is good at helping, the people on the other side of the window don't know (s)he needs help?? I've never admitted I've needed help with personal problems, not once; Even if I knew it would probably help. Eh, Pride is a big sin to man up to. Well written piece. -Trina. |
