Ignore

Insult me, I may get angry, Love me, I will be very happy, Hate me, I may love you, Ignore me, I will be crushed. I exist, No one sees me, I wait, everyone sees thru me, I hope, someone will find me, I suffer, the pain of being ignored suffocates me. I speak, No one seems to listen, I shout, the echoes bounce back on me, I frown, the anguish chokes me, I smile, my spirit survives and I live on.

Jay, your ability to expertly convey a symphony of human emotions is truly remarkable. I can hear the voice of intellect resonating strongly in your work.

Ignoring one is more insulting than abusing. When people ignore us totally, we feel like we are sinking into a pit of non existence. But whatever it is, we survive everything and live on. Powerfully written dear friend.
