My 2 True Voices

I think I now know have finally
discovered and figured out the 
reason what inspired me to began
to write

Probably because now looking back on
reflection 

No one else apart from you 
here kindest of folk on the soup

Would In the actual flesh be
willing to listen or even hear me out

As nothing I could possibly say or
any of my points of view

Seemed or deemed to be of any
value to anyone I knew at all 

Apart from certain individual people
who I do not and will never know who
choose to reply and comment on my
poems 

Who through the right of reply have lead
me into beginning to believe

Yes indeed I do and am in fact not
only actually entitled to express 
my point of view but have my say 
as well

Which is both at the same time a
crying shame but also a blessing 

That i find myself unless disguised
valued more by other's than my own 

And I would be being disingenuous or
lying to you more than myself

If I was to ever say that has and I will
never let that bother me or even hurt me at all 

That to me is like water off a duck's back 
and not worth loosing a single night's
sleep over

And that must be the very reason why I
am still currently up at 2.43 am in the
morning

Having nobody else but hopefully you 
willing to lend me a kind ear

Obviously retraction correction 2.44 am
interview terminated

No prophet is accepted in his own home town. Even Jesus brothers thought he was a lunatic until his resurrection to go on to become believers.
