Filling Up Spaces With Words

Does anyone have the conception
that I'm disconnected from reality,
so fearful to face more hardships? 
All I do is filling up spaces with words,
they fit perfectly to make me feel easy:
it's awful to be judged with contention!  

Am I someone so selfish to be derided by jesters
for choosing a hideout from the internal chaos?
Who praises himself to be a perfect in all he does
and says has achieved none besides foolishness!

Most of us adapt the mentality of the unwise,
thinking that the quicker we climb the ladder,
the better we reach our status to earn a merited price;
should all take an unexpected turn, we'll pull our hair! 

Does evrybody blame me for filling spaces with words?
they have lifted me in dire times and helped me cope;
and the few who couldn't, committed suicide by the rope:  
I thank Heaven I still breathe life and travel more roads.

Hey Andrew, I’m blown away by your honesty and vulnerability. Your words are capturing the struggle of feeling misunderstood and judged. The imagery of using words as a refuge from chaos is powerful, and your defiance against those who criticize is inspiring. You speak from the heart of the healing power of expression. Keep writing, your words have the strength to uplift and empower. - Blessings, Daniel

Good morning, Daniel. I've appreciated your kind comment. Yes, we can fill up space with words to cope with the reality of unpleasant things; and in this reality we find our voice when nobody is there for us. Happy Thursday to you. I wish you all the best.
