Mama Bear Poet Free verse

Dismissed

You don't listen to my sad words
Certainly can't understand the hurt inside of me
Nothing matters but what you feel and want
You hide in a world of emptiness
Repeated all day long in the news broadcasts that you devour 
Words that form your reality a far distance from real life
My feelings are not of any importance to you, after all I am just an emotional woman
What I want and say do not fit into what you want 
So you dismiss my words and also dismiss me
My feelings are nothing to you but an irritation to be pooh poohed away 
As if I were a child with not an important thought in my head
Nothing to be done by me now, I've tried but can't break into your cosy cocoon
Your chrysalis will never hatch, it has died in the nothingness of your soul
So I will keep looking for someone who will recognize the worth in me
And I can then finally know what it is like to have someone appreciate who I am
He will be a kind and loving person who is going to mean the world to me
And you will be sitting in your empty shell alone

Michael Tor December 5, 2015 at 6:44 PM Edith this is so well written full of truth. There are two kinds of people in this world givers and takers. Givers give and takers take. It is that simple. The good give and the bad take and are selfish and self centered. This write reminds me of a taker. Awesome write and a 7. One of my favorites also. Congratulations on this exceptional write! Thank you Edith for sharing. Mama Bear December 5, 2015 at 10:27 PM The takers do not even know what they are missing. That is what makes it so sad. They could have so much more if they gave a little. Thanks for your kind words and the visit. Blessings Edith

Eric Boddie December 3, 2015 at 2:35 PM its never easy to be dismissed....but let me please tell you this....we could be addicted to their touch and kiss....to the point where we feel we need them on our list....but when we find the strength to resist....then only happy memories of self can be reminisced....;) Mama Bear December 3, 2015 at 5:12 PM If they do not give you a worth in their lives they are not worth having in yours Thanks for the insight and comments. Blessings Edith

Susan Gentry December 2, 2015 at 6:13 PM You could have been repeating my own thoughts at one time or another. Letting people be who they are is something I have struggled with, and not taking their stuff personal. The willingness to let go, to find what you need is the key, or it was for me. You're there and what a strong person you are from it all. Heartfelt poem. Thank you! Mama Bear December 2, 2015 at 6:35 PM The key will be staying true to myself and not to give in. Thank you for the comments and insight Blessings Edith
