With so many people around

I can't talk to a single soul

They all have good intentions

But they can't lead me to my goal

Some are just morons

Offering solutions that make no sence

Some make me feel stupid

Telling me i have no reason to vent

That leads me to one more group

The ones who just don't understand

What this all comes down to

Is no one can lend a helping hand

I feel your pain, but you must realize that sympathy is only truely true, when it comes from someone who has been there before. Otherwise, it is only a shadow of what sympathy really is. Great job, keep up the good work.

I once said reality is psychosomatic-its almost impossible to understand anothers reality/pain. But this is wonderful and also very true. I know how I felt when people turned away from me when I needed them. Well done, this is great.

I understand completely. I have a line in a poem I wrote "complete isolation, all the while surrounded by others". Those others don't understand, and/or don't care. Nice write. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is spelling, "sence" instead of sense. Please don't be offended, I'm just very picky that way. I've had my art torn apart by other poets who are so anal about that sort of thing, I guess it's kind of rubbed off on me. Besides, if you submit for publication that's the first thing that will get it thrown in the trash is poor spelling. Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it! ~ :-) ~ K

Thanks and I completely understand. I'll keep the spelling in mind. It was kind of written in the moment and I guess I should have written it in word first and then transfered it to here. I still appreciate your comment and rating though.
