P O T D

Forgive me if my humility you do find offensive But i would be a liar if i was not to admit That it doesn't fill my heart and head with joy When something positive complimentary comes my way And is written in my comments box about a poem i have wrote for other's all to see Because although though i might to try to convince myself That my writing is altruistic and soley for the right reasons Who would i be kidding and lying to but myself And prove once and for all to me i am no better than But rather the thing that i most hate And wished and wanted everyone to guard against just in case A charlatan like me they we're to stare directly into the face of Claiming innocence whilst perpetuating a lie

We just have to believe in ourselves Christopher, none of us know what the playing field is on the soup, because there is none, we can read each other’s poems, giving us an insight into each others thoughts, but it’s not enough I’m afraid, some write for release like us, from there it’s anyone’s guess what’s actually going on, or what people get off on, such is life, cheers David
