Poem Number 6526
I think because I am young that I must be naive
and the important things to me are just trivial flighty notions
I know your words carry multiple meanings
you say that I'm stupid and that I'm only preening
You can't mean that,
what's your definition of youth?
You just called me ignorant
but that's not the truth
I must be naive, you have to be joking!
you can't kill me that quickly
I don't understand why you treat me like this
I don't understand why you're breaking my bliss
but this is pointless I don't know why I wrote it I don't know why you cant
why you can't
why you can't let me at least think I mean something to myself


Commentary:
Lil \\ I often wonder when someone "sets us ablaze" with emotion, whether we do not also create similar feelings in the other person, without us knowing it. When communications break down, we build walls and "moats" around ourselves, so we don't get hurt again. \\ Abe
-------
My Mother has always said "If you can't say something nice about someone, then just shut up" If that would be practiced, only encouraging and not tearing down another's self esteem, the world would be better for it! MM
