Richard Kimble Poet I do not know?

Listened To Me

I needed someone to talk with

A person that understood what I was saying

The one who wouldn’t judge me

The person that remained quiet while I spoke

All I wanted was for somebody that listened to me

Once was afraid to voice my opinions

However, courage in my beliefs is what I achieved 

I stand proud now it’s as if my words even speak

Made me a teacher through my talent

When everyone was too busy you sat and listened to me

Became the lending ears that I needed at times

I’ve grown to depend on you being there

I was allowed to say whatever I like

Whether I’m wrong or right you didn’t mind

Yelled at top of my lungs, still you listened to me 

Not in the form of a man nor woman

Just ink I wrote on a line made me a creator

I write at my own free will, without anyone to stop me

Humbly I now watch my nouns and verbs spill onto paper

Became closer than best friends could be

See, when no one else did my pen and paper still listened to me

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2011 at 12:03 PM Exactly the way I feel, Richard. When there is no one to listen, the words pour forth onto paper and it does bring great satisfaction, doesn't it? Many writers will relate to this message. And I must say, it was your name that prompted me to read your poetry. Was a big fan of The Fugitive's Dr. Richard Kimble. But I'm so glad I saw this awesome poem today. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes, Carolyn
