    To judge another and to point and stare..... is to never know the person... unless you take the time to care.... Things are rarely.... If Ever... What they seem......I found that out.....the hard way....

    CAN U HEAR ME NOW

    No one wants… to walk thru life alone
    No one wants… to have a heart with no     home
    No one wants… to be kicked and      unloved
    No one wants… to be the person… in place of
    No one wants… to cower and be     afraid
    No one wants… to pay the price... they should've paid
    No one wants… to wear hurt suspended in time
    No one wants… to be associated with its     crime
    No one wants… to dance in the folly of     rejection
    No one wants… to pray for touch n subtle affection
    No one wants… to marry anguish n exist to cry
    No one wants… to be broken... void of wings... n can't fly
    No one wants… to dress and wear a blanket of shame
    No one wants… to bathe and marinate in the     blame
    No one wants… to walk in the shadow... of your shoes
    No one wants… to know… if not me… then who
    No one wants… to welcome the thoughts of     suicide
    No one wants… to later stop and realize     why
    No one wants… to have a revelation of truth
    No one wants… to grow with a pain you can't soothe
    No one wants… to mirror failure framed on the shelf
    No one wants… to question… the power within of self
                       n... still
    No one knows… the constant torment inside
    No one knows… the daily battles for pride
    No one knows… the damage of your health
    No one knows… the emptiness in its     wealth

    On my knees I cry… and wish I could pray
    But the faith that it evokes… escapes me everyday
    What I bleed and cry for… is tattooed and     ingrained
    The tears inside… simply anoint me by name


    Alone I stand… Alone I cry…
    Alone I paid… Alone I must fly….

    i just wanted to stop by and say hello and read/reread some of your words. i love this one, not so much the pain in it that you've conveyed, rather, the excellent execution of thought, flow and content. bravo. i picture you standing before a large crowd stating your case. very emotional, and isn't that what it's about ?

    Thanks my friend for the revisit....and....you are correct on the emotional stand front...this piece was very emotionally charged for me on so many levels...and....YES....that is exactly what writing is all about for me...to be able to convey a feeling with written words in a way that once read....the experience takes on an attack of some kind of reaction from the reader itself....I think that feeling the words are just as effective ( if not more so ) as simply reading them...getting someone to experience your mind's eye is a beautiful thing if it can be done....I strive that one day anything I put pen to paper to, will have such an effect....I HOPE....take care as always....Cher

    Bit of genius in emplying the ellipses on a repetitive vertival line. Without them, this poem would still read smoothly, but would not be half so memorable. Harv

    I am impressed....I tend to do that alot for slight pause and emphasis in the flow....but I will be TOTALLY HONEST with you....I was unaware of the name to that exact style until now and even had to google it to be sure....lol....so I thank you for my lesson and I so appreciate you commenting and enjoying this write....thanks so much for your time...Cher

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
