And if someone sings, don't stop them

I stopped not talking Started trust falling Observed when caught And when more fraught Delete the next line It'll wreck my fine Pull these punches Ignore my hunches My heart is aches For all our sakes One earthly chance Spent being so tense All my dreams met But I'm not on set I don't come in on cue I'm out of sync Lost in the blue Taking time to think Reject rhythm Reject rhyme Want just knowing Want divine Whether I'm falling or singing Why let me fall flat? Uplifting is uplifting Did you think about that? I'm not a fake praiser Nor do I want one of those See me and tell me If you catch my vibe These lists of my faults Dampen spirits Drag me down Dash my zest for being alive I'm trust falling Test calling I'm almost in your arms Show me acceptance See how it calms I don't want to be Shock wave energy I have a rhythm I'm sure I do I'm knocked off kilter I don't blame you But I'm seeking balance Preventing crashes Cushioning my fall That's all

DD is your poem about people's responses to poems? If it helps I catch your vibe. :) I find your work unique and always enjoy reading it. As with others' work I may read but don't always comment. If your poem isn't about that then once again the words of my English Lit teacher will echo inside: " Some misconceptions here Mr. Radice. :) Ah, to be a poet. Cheers - Gary

All the best conversations usually start that way :)

Haha thank you Gary, as discussed before a poem can be about anything the reader interprets it as in the moment :) it wasn't written about poetry though, just a time when I did a Freddie Mercury impression that didn't spread the joy I expected - I'll stick to just singing for the dog :D poetry is perhaps the cushion though, it's a nice little solace. Thank you for your comment - I do wonder who my readers are I suppose :)
