I Really Did It

by S.A.H. - Pisces

I really did it...
And I'm not proud...
I've sent my own comments...
Just to make my words loud...

Wasn't trying to deceive...
Just wanted an "EAR"...
Seemed if you weren't on,"THAT PAGE"...
NO ONE would "HEAR"...

No one would know...
Bad or good.... 
Thought that if someone "SAW"...
They'd see what they should...

I really just thought
It was the ONLY way!...
Cause if I didn't...
NO ONE would pay--

A single attention...
To what "I" had written!---
Could have done it straight...
Like I should have, but didn't...

I'm ashamed and sorry...
But not TOO much...
There are only a FEW...
That these poems touch...

Just wanted some "insight"...
A comment or two...
Didn't have to be "great"
Just a true piece of "YOU"...

I started to feel like
My poetry STUNK... 
No one gave comment...
My creativity SUNK... 

But that doesn't shame me--
I've seen the humanity---
I've seen all the doubts...
Worlds inside-out...

Dreams still so broken---
Words still unspoken---
Lives in amazement...
While pounding the pavement...

Questioning God--
And where they are from...
One day feeling "perfect"...
One day feeling "dumb"...

This really has "helped" me...
As so, has it should--
These poems don't determine
Evil or good!...

Just PEOPLE like me...
Just PEOPLE like you...
Sharing our souls...
Wanting what's "true"...

With our veil of protection...
The veil of innocence--
With so MUCH to say!!!...
And so...LITTLE
Recompense...

It's no wonder we write...
And we write and we write...
Like we ALWAYS will....
Until things seem right...

Gifted or cursed...
Blessed or condemned..
We cannot decease
For we are...one of them....





 

Reason for writing:

    Won't do it again...It's either "yes" or "no"...just like my paw-paw said.
