Just Sayin

You’re hiding in the shadows, your voice is full of scorn, your thoughts fragmented windows, your life a chess master’s pawn. You think you know the answers, you very seldom concede, you never accept the equation, you don’t notice when you bleed. You laugh in the face of discretion, you constantly refuse advice, you shut out the people you know, you roll their worth with dice. You’re the solution to the problem, you’re the knife to the steel, when will you finally understand your scars will never heal? Written: circa 1993

I hope you have helped him find a counselor to work through all his problems. If a person doesn't know how they are coming across to others, then they think everything is just hunky-dory. Thanks for dropping by my page. I appreciate the time spent there reading and commenting on my work. Sara

Hmmm...If he did, I wonder how he must have felt reading this poem. Hmmm...I suspect he attributed it to someone he knew.
