you just don't get it

Contributed by LadyDama on Saturday, 8th February 2003 @ 08:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



say the right words
the goblin king said
something horrible has happened
lost in the translation
of confusion
and neglect
misunderstood
both ways
backwards and forwards
through the looking glass
she fell
wondering wondering wondering
think harder, young woman
try more
give more
take less
figure out why, you woman-child
why
you
just
don't
get
it

... i am the step mother in a family where my step daughter lives with us... a sticky situation, it has been, for several years... and sometimes, when the frustration gets to be too much... i simple relent... but inside, which is where my writing comes from... i let it out... i possibly should have put this poem in with the sarcastic poems... ... thank you for your "poem comment"... i shall enjoy reading your works, me thinks...

Perhaps Wry isn't a fan of the application of perceptions. I read this twice, one with objectivity and one after having read your perspective on it. Either way, I understood the gist of it. With a foreknowledge of what to expect the meaning to be the second time, however, my understanding was clarified and I know how dfficult it can be for both members of this relationship to cope. Thanks for the poem, Lady.. :)

LadyDama,
Seeing your reasons for writing this, made it very interesting. I understood the idea, though the step daughter scenario right off. What you did here put you among my favs. For you have wrote this in a way that many can relate, regaurdless of the situation. A rare talent to come across.
