    Poem Commentary

    I get so tired of being made fun of by people around me who do not even try to read, or understand the emotion behind what is written. As many times as I have explained, to release what is inside even on paper helps to heal a broken soul. It helps to remember what is precious. It helps me understand my troubles.

    A Fools Tool



    What a pathetic fool. 
    No one to hear my thoughts,
    my concern, my plea. 

    Usually this is only for my eyes to see.
    How sad, how lonely, how sorry this must be.

    It does not make me happy. It does not make me angry.
    I guess it just makes my empty seem less than a worry. 
    I can hear their whispers, how they mock me and call me silly.

    Afraid of my thoughts as if they were ugly. 
    Unwilling to see that what this fool may write is worthy.
    Blinded by what they can not understand,
    that these words I cannot speak I may write so freely.  

    From this heavy burden of hurt, anger, betrayal, love, and
    tenderness lies a deep emotional beauty that lives within me.

    A tawdry fool are you to view something so special to me,
    as lame and corny.

    Clearly what you do not know appears to be scary. 
    Even if it is only words on paper made up by me.

    So a pathetic fool I may be, unlike you who is just an ignorant fool.

    I am a fool who uses pen and paper as a tool.

    We are definitely not in the least bit foolish for doing what we love! Good write! I used to think that same way, that I'm doing all this writing, some of it I believe to be brilliant. But no one to share it with. No one to care. Later I realized that I do it more for myself than to share with others. But like any one else, I still enjoy support too. Thanks for that piece!

    Sometimes I feel a little sorry for people who don't write (just a little!) For so many years, I lived with all these ideas and emotions locked up in me. Fortunately, I met a man a couple years ago who recognized it was there and has been inspiring me to channel it out. You are clearly a strong writer and a fool you are not:)

    Thank you, you are lucky to have someone who can encourage and inspire you to write openly. I write and hide my poems from everyone except for here. I appreciate the opportunity to share and have others understand.

    You're no fool, Sandy, and you are certainly not wasting your time by setting pen to paper. Let others laugh and mock you, if they feel they must. Deep down, they know that they're nothing but what they make themselves to be, and they have chosen the road to nothingness. It is the artists who make this world beautiful. The artists who understand the structure of reality, and are able to bend it into complex and beautiful forms and share them with others. Without artists, Sandy, what purpose would be have to continue upon such a mundane road? We search every tiny crevice; every dusty corner for beauty and tangible awareness, that our entire being seems to illuminate upon the discovery of such a treasure. Every word you write, Sandy, is such a treasure. NEVER let anyone tell you any different!

    Thank you again, your words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you always for the encouragement. I am so happy to have found this website, to share what I normally would hide.

    I know exactly how you feel. Some of the things I have shared here I would not share publicly. I take encouragement when people mock me, for it only goes to show how sad they are as the exalt themselves above others. As they say, only God looks down from up high. Plus, it shows I got their attention enough to warrant a reaction. Great piece I loved it.

    Thank you

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
