How Dare You

Everyone is raving about my words. I slam them into a closet and brick them up. I am finished with them. They have not saved me. I am in full despair mode. Nothing is making me happy. I am a train wreck of one. My love is gone. Worse than dead, he went with another. Words? Shut up! I hate them now. I hate everything. I even hate you. How dare you try to goad me Into happiness. Let me wallow.

I always wonder where you get your poetry. Ten a day. How many subjects can one write on? Yet I read this poem just for kicks and I'm stupefied not at the originality of the subject but at the way you wrote the poem. Very Original. Five stars. Well done. ~~

Thank you so much Victor, I appreciate it. I have to tell you I force myself to create ten a day, even when I am not in the mood as a punishment for me now allowing myself to enjoy writing for almost 35 years, another self-punishment.
