Carolyn Brunner Poet I do not know?

My Hall of Mirrors

Hesitating to explain is what I do best
Sometimes I'd rather not even explain
Because my truths
Will be misunderstood by many ears and eyes

My truths ache when you spread rumors
They seethe as you fabricate a me that never existed
You gather your believers as I gather myself
Standing alone among the crowd -
I said "I needed a friend, not a fair-weathered one."

Caren Krutsinger November 9, 2018 at 3:15 AM Beautifully felt, written, and understood in my own way, relate-able in every way. Welcome to Poetry Soup, Carolyn.

Chris Green November 8, 2018 at 7:37 AM I really enjoyed this. One can only tell if a friend is a good one if they are there when needed by you, not only when needed by them. I hope that makes sense. Still, I like the direct feel of your poem, I could hear this being spoken. Welcome to soup.
