'when Silence Resonates'

Things are not perfect. I am not perfect… Every day I discover facets that make me; me... Don't allow anyone to dictate your worth... They don't see your thoughts late at night, They don’t hear the questions you deal with when you are all alone... Be comfortable with you – The value you add to other’s lives will sometimes resonate in your silence ©155317032015

Wilma, your words are so true, one must know self, I find it amazing at times that people I work with are different outside work as they are when working, it is like they put on a mask at work, a perfect 7 rating and thanks for visiting my poem, flowers . . .

What can I say, but you did it again, Missy! Write as if you speak to me, of me! Hmmm and then why then suddenly just now, "killing me softly" plays in my mind?? Ha! Kidding aside. You can be a horoscope writer. Since what you write always seem to apply to me (and others it seems) ;p. Ok, really kidding aside: another wise poem that hits home. Thank you for the inspiring poems. Also, thank you SO much again for the other day, made my day happy <3!

I like your philosophy. Let's face it, people are at their best when they are silent and thinking soulful thoughts. Love, daver

This poem has a message and delivers it well. Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your humanity and vulnerabilities. Emile. #7
