Shadow Sky
I recite my musings to the shadow skies
When nobody cares to nod at my negligence
Or even scold me for that matter
I tend to think I’m a self punisher..
Maybe that’s all I know
Punishment, abandonment, rejection, the whole package
If it’s all I’ve ever known
How can I decipher what’s genuinely good?
Shadow sky, keep listening
It gets old staring at empty space
Extending for light years
That’s what it feels like to me, we understand to some degree
Life trails on
And I see no ending
Responses are given the glory
And I seek them, criticism and compliments
But shadow sky, you’ve taught me
That a response doesn’t always require talking
Silence tells a story.

"Punishment, abandonment, rejection, the whole package

Wow... fairy, I'm speechless. That line really resonated deeply with me... a feeling that I know all to well.
You might like my poem... "A Mother's Love", I promise I know how you feel EXACTLY.

I wrote this minutes after Rooftop Dreams and Such (yes I was on my roof) and kept the theme up.. kinda a sporadic spill.. I get the feeling we are very similar people since we seem to connect through each others writes. I did take at look at your poem and left you my thoughts there. Thank you for all your comments and support. Best wishes.
