Silent One Poet Rhyme

Ignorant Perceptions

Today, I'm lost for words,
something seems so absurd.
Ignorant perceptions,
lead to blind deceptions.

My mind begins to rot,
being judged for that i'm not.
I curse those erratic eyes,
full of superficial cries.

In your selfish desire,
you wanna set me on fire,
wrap my neck in barb wire,
then you think I'm a liar!

Hatred has your thoughts ruled,
you're in need to be re-schooled.
Venom that has you fooled,
means your heart can't be cooled.

Save your sorry's, there's no need,
you just want to see me bleed,
but trust me you wont succeed,
on my success you won't feed.

Nancy Kaufman December 12, 2023 at 7:00 AM Dear Silent One, This very emotive piece is definitely not your norm but I felt your frustration and anger at some one or some thing. I can't say I enjoyed it but it was well written. God bless you and your honest pen.

Jerry Brotherton December 11, 2023 at 5:17 PM Being judged for that I'm not. I think we all can relate to this. Thanks for these words my friend.

Sotto Poet December 11, 2023 at 4:55 PM Undoubtedly, we have all encountered individuals of such a nature. My thoughts seem to wander...ah! I was captivated by your meticulous arrangement of verses and the profound essence they conveyed. A multitude of misguided notions pervade our world, and your work brilliantly addresses this plight. Truly remarkable!

Deb M December 11, 2023 at 11:17 AM I hear you loud and clear SO and can totally relate! First time for me and hopefully the last …not a pleasant experience! Great poem….Debx

Ink Empress December 11, 2023 at 9:00 AM Everyday i have no words, lol i can resonate with this. A very powerful and strong voice i hear which has no energy nor patience for the ones that needs to be reschooled, i love your rhymes: you always do them so well.too many ignorant perceptions in this world, and what can i say ones perception is a reflection of their inner-self. love especially “ Save your sorry's, there's no need, you just want to see me bleed,“ welll said ! You can write on any theme and still leave readers speechless! Fav
