Hey, You

Hey, you, ignoring my cloud, Your silence is so shrieking loud! They say silence is golden...but not always true When it 'speaks' from a jealous heart. Hey, you, ignoring my cloud, Your silence is so shrieking loud! You don’t like something… Say nothing…that’s good. Like something too much… Say nothing…that’s bad! I've earned my day in the sun... Your support for me has gone missing. They say silence is golden...but not always true When it 'speaks' from a jealous heart. Sandra M. Haight ~3rd Place~ Contest: I Wish I Had The Balls To Tell Them How I Really Felt Sponsor: Line Gauthier Judged: 08/13/2018 Written 'in honor' of some hometown 'friends'...and some 'family'...in my life who do not acknowledge or support my poetry and poetic endeavors.

Great write, Sandra! Your comments to others reveal your true sensitivity and charm. Your poem reveals something more. It reveals that your sensitivity and charm are the 'real you' while your poem depicts a desire to just once give someone a piece of your mind. But your 'better' side always wins out and you are all the better for it. I admire you greatly!

The "hometowners" are missing many worlds that you can open them to. Sad. But happiness abounds because we appreciate you and your gifts.
