I DO NOT COUNT

(I realize that this is two bad poems in two days, but it is a very bad week, so far. I expect there will be more. Then on to the bright, shiny, smiley person that is me. Oh-oh, that could be another wave of inspiration, or just another dive into the vortex.)

I do not count.
I have no say.
I am insignificant.
Just the throw away.
I fight no battles,
But, bear scars of war.
I shout no hails,
My spirit is too poor.
My soul is heavy
From the skirmishes of late.
I cannot fight this,
I grow weary of the wait.
Time is pressing onward;
There is none left for me.
All around suggestions;
It is fine, just let it be.
Maybe they don’t need me,
The ones I love so much.

The angry voices heard.
So, what is left inside of me,
When all is said and done?
How can I find a peace,
When my response
Is but to run?
Go, find a place that’s quiet,
Where I feel safe and gay.
Where I can find the thing

I can choose a place
In this world with all its ills.
Or I can jump the easy train

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
