Shout Out to The Stupid One
Images
of my likeness, tripped up
by the colors of madness falling,
scratching their way out, through
that space between a broken sun,
where I lie covered in decaying shit
Dried clots escape from
my eyes, stained my lashes
sealing them shut.
Shut away from the beauty
of a healing fortress that
provides my breath,
You stomp me with your
hardened soul
A life with a faded hue
flakes off onto the sharp
grass where my ankles sink
Pieces of a broken color wheel
no longer of any use kicked aside,
left to tumble down the
lost course with morning
glory tendrils.
Tangled, dragging me out
to the charging sea
Salt air, licks my wounds
from the sandy flats, basalt
jutting from deep below
carries faces that laugh and
spit
Appearing as a replica of me
without a wish
I grieve for the hatchet gone
dull without purpose
shredded shadows spiral
shouting to the stupid
one that is me

Oh no, don't say that about yourself! Are you saying you are stupid because certain individuals are saying you are stupid, (therefore, being ironic) or do you genuinely believe you are stupid?
I doubt the latter, you being a southern gal 'n' all. ;-)

The empath in me is stupid I believe in change. Which is impossible for some
I hold onto the good things about a person
I search for something good in them
I understand why people think the way they do
Which hurts me I'm stupid in that respect

Some people find change scary, as well you know, cos it is the fear of the unknown I guess, especially when many of us have structured lives. So when the shit hits the fan, we throw a wobbly. Do you like that term, throwing a wobbly, lol?

Re: Re. Shout Out to The Stupid One
Next time you speak to him, I think you should talk about this coronavirus pandemic perhaps & maybe ask if you can read out one of your poems. There must be some topical value & appeal in that. You are after all what I would call a modernist poet, You write about current situations as you see them.

Re: Re. Shout Out to The Stupid One
You are most welcome, my dear. I feel you have a lot of talent there to offer, even if you don't feel it, regarded by the majority,
Personally, your voice should be heard because at any rate, you will be providing an alternative opinion that others may have overlooked.
Basically, I'd have you on my show, just to wind up a few stiffs & to stray from the status quo of course.
