Array ( [sid] => 141671 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ~That Guilty Feeling~ [time] => 2008-04-18 10:12:57 [hometext] => To the many poets here on whose poems I don't comment... [bodytext] => ~~*~~

More often than not, when I come on here,
I read poems that bring me a tear.

A lot of the times I feel as guilty as sin
How to comment, I can’t even begin.

There are so many poems of impending suicide,
Reading them just tears me up inside.

Then there are the few poets, who tell of incest,
I know they need to get it off their chest.

When I listen to those who have lost their love,
For my own happiness I thank the One above.

I feel terrible for those who have been abused,
I imagine that their life now seems all confused.

I read of murders and I read of rape,
From these it seems there is no escape.

So my friends, if at times I do not comment,
Know that it’s not always by accident.

Most times I feel guilty for the happiness that I feel,
While I try to imagine your pain, that is so real.

Hugs to all….

Thank you Jenni for saying what many of us should say. I myself at times read a post and just cannot come up with anything to say that would not make me look like a complete idiot. Great post.

KInd hearted words from a lovely woman. I do so agree. At times a loss of words is just there.
Lovely tribute to all the hurting souls.

Jenni,

I love this write. There is much here in YPDC that I've read, and failed to comment on, because I do not like suicide writings. Most times I will not even finish the read, and will move on to another poem.

Anyways, good write.

Jenni...you are truly a kind soul...with all the pain in this world, maybe bringing these wrongs to light can somehow help us all through it.

Or maybe just knowing that there is someone who cares...can somehow bring a degree of comfort.

This is an outstanding write.
