Single I Like

Never meet your Hero's Never revisit your past young Self History or Ancestry Like falling from a Tree Scar's and broken bone's remember Pretending words never hurt me Are woven into our medical records Like the sullied places our brain goes When we desperately do not want to be alone But friends are few and have more pressing things to do Than recant the blues of old news

Very thought provoking lines Christopher:-) Was it my poem which inspired this write? I especially love those final two lines and its comforting we have poetry to share our feelings and thoughts and don't have to rely on anyone else:-) hugs Jan xx
