why i f***
By FadedBlues
because i
was put on the earth for a reason, and i don't know
what that reason
is, so i choose this as the reason.
because i thought that almost
everyone did it better than me,
when in fact i do it better than anyone.
because my teachers abhorred it, and my parents...o my god,
don't even get me started on them!
because no one ever took
me in and showed me that there was
something beyond this.
because it falls easily into the scheme of things.
because
it is not taxable, nor governed by any religious or political
body.
because it requires no exhaustive training, nor any degree of
scholastic achievement.
because it is a flaw of nature, and
i have no quarrel with nature.
because i can.
because
it's all i've ever done.
and these are the reasons why i fail.

I don't know how I missed this one. I suppose it's safe to say that why we do anything is being inhuman and all human. differentiating the two is the question. much love to you sir.

You fail in other peoples eyes or your own. People are quick to point out another's failings which are more a learning curve than a failing, we would not evolve or grow without them. I am always hardest on myself.... A great write blues.

Poets & Friends, your expressions fill me with so much joy. I've had my ups & downs in life like everyone, too many to list in this small box (altho I've seen it expand at times like a swollen ego.)...

Perhaps we write for only ourselves and not the accolades of others, because write we must, if only on a cave wall with colored rocks. Not sure I nalied it but that was my impression, thanks.

Reading through your works I don't believe you fail in life. I don't believe you fail at poetry for sure as its always brilliant. The piece above is a light shinning on that fact. You don't need a man like me pointing at anything for you I'm sure, but I must ask.... is your failure not accepting your achievements? You obviously have more than most, in my eyes anyway. I only see out of mine though.
