Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

He Felt Unworthy

He felt unworthy
Unworthy of love
Unworthy of friends
Unworthy of community
A walking apology
Head down, sad mouth, shaded eyes
Never validated
Never loved
Secluded from others
Including a father he claimed to despise
He never actually met him though.

Juliet Ligon December 9, 2019 at 5:02 PM Sad, touching poem. This could have a double meaning. I've read that people who've never known their father growing up are more likely to be agnostic and angry toward their heavenly father. Caren Krutsinger December 9, 2019 at 11:38 PM I had three people in mind when I wrote this, and rolled them into one sad ball of a person.

Heidi Sands December 7, 2019 at 9:52 AM So sad and yet so many live through this Caren! I hope you have a nice day :) Caren Krutsinger December 8, 2019 at 2:07 AM I had a busy day. Three and a half hour drive to and from my home town to check on my mother who had been taken by ambulance to the hospital. She is now in the safe hands of my twin who is a nurse.

Kim Rodrigues December 7, 2019 at 4:50 AM Such sadness in the world. Duly sad, not facing down the object of one’s anger. Caren Krutsinger December 8, 2019 at 2:07 AM Absolutely. Anger is always initiated by sadness.
