The pain one word can cause
My soul starves for deserved recognition
And less verbal praise of my flaws

My unheard questions come up again
Your pride never seems to show for me
But rather that you are right and I am wrong
Always seems to be an understood garuntee

Your criticism is neverending
Too short to play, too plain to be queen
You misunderstand my unheard silence
And you let my tears go unseen

Sometimes I want to scream
But I honestly don't know what to say
My inside screams are never heard
But you never listen to me anyway

Love can only go so far
Time calls for things that are true
The pain your words cause me
Somehow I wish you knew

I Wish You Knew

Very strong write. Too often those who we seek the approval of pass us off as just someone normal. Our greatness is recognized by others even if we do not know they see it. Such is the case with this write. It is truly a great piece of artistic beauty. Keep strong and know your words are being heard.

Oh Unfallen tears......this poem is so touching. As a parent it is so hard to praise. Some parents are afraid if they do.....then you won't mind them anymore.
Your father is just insecure.....and yes, my dear friend....you really should tell him how you feel.....do it very kindly.....but ask him if he could just once say something nice about you. He probably doesn't even realize what he is doing to you!
Your thoughts are collected, your timing is great.......you have much talent UFT....thanking you again for your fine comment on my poem.
Poetic hugs and prayers for you
consue
