Wounded Poem

I am wounded and now feel alone,
 you did not read my poem.

How sad for you
 sadder still for me.

The words were simple
 spread wavy like an old nun's wimple.

Do not discount  my words as uninspired.
 sometimes they are difficultly unacquired.

But they look for recognition
 it is part of my human condition.

So go ahead, read someone else’s words
 and hopefully you’ll find meaning in the blurbs.

Leave me here to my own distractions
 filled with moody dissatisfaction.
