oops

You haven't seen what I've seen
at least not through my eyes
You can not hear what I hear
your ears receive not mine
You do not feel my feelings
for you've never been inside
The pain that I experienced
your body's never tried.
No matter what I say or do
it never seems enough
You turn it all around to be
like putting you in cuffs
A simple invitation
is perceived as a command
Instead of just a courtesy
to make you feel at hand.
To voice my own opinion
is clearly not allowed
For when I tell a story
you raise up one eyebrow
Or roll your eyes dramatically
a sign for me to stop
That's if I get a chance to speak
before you interrupt.
The support that I have shown you
throughout all your years
Doesn't seem to matter
to me that's been made clear
It seems I hold no value
other's have replaced
The spot I held within your heart
my usefulness erased.
Now when I try to tell you
how this makes me feel,
You simply shrug your shoulders
as if it's no big deal.
And then you start to judge me
looking down your nose
Like I'm a piece of dirt
just stuck beneath your toes.

You underlined some unfortunate aspects of the human experience. Thank you for sharing. While I cannot see what you have seen, I empathize.
Best,

How very sad and how I relate...sadly, too well.
What happens to people to make them get this way? I'll never know.
A very heartfelt and emotional write!!! I hope that writing helps.

My favorite line is "My usefulness erased". That embodies your message. It comes sorrowful to know that no one will ever love or know us as we do! It is a very isolated feeling. It is also what makes us unique, interesting; and wondrous to discover! You are who you are, and no one can take that from you, or diminish it without your permission. Take good care of that person inside!
He's intelligent and extremely talented!

| This reads to me as a parent to a young adult. The frustration and the inability to get through. If it is, it is more the stubborn arrogance of youth that you fight, not the person. Much more often than not the lack of communication dissolves with maturity. Composed with skill and style, and a great read that is able to connect to the reader in differing ways. |
