The unfortunate piece I always try to listen to a friend And It's not easy when there is no end. Sometimes the bitterness presented me Could replace all the waters of the sea. Some like a stick beat in a constant drum. Some like a waterfall that comes and comes. And some feel as sharp as some broken glass Almost as many as a field of grass. I truly feel sorry for some I know Although some seem to hoe and endless hoe But we must stop and think, think what we do More thought must be placed on how to renew. Stitching of *****ing are fragile and wear The matter won't hold or stay in repair. It's better to settle and start anew This is much quicker and easier to do. Of the jar that breaks a thousand release Which would you say, the unfortunate piece? |

Sy--He who listens is not the unfortunate piece...but be careful...glass can break, but the listener is soft..watch for absorption. Enjoyed this poetic look on life...always do! |

After hearing the same sob story for over a year until I knew every word by heart, I realized I was simply the audience for a long-run performance (un)worthy of a Tony award... I longed for the lines to change, just once. *S* But writing a poem about my frustration was enough to keep me quiet and the friendship intact. It's not easy to keep listening... and as Martie said so eloquently, it's not easy to protect yourself from absorbing the bitterness... but my faith is in you, dear poet. Well done! |
