1 and the Emptiness Inside Me

By megaprime81

There's an emptiness inside me
That no 1 can ever fill
Right now my anger
Cannot be set at ease

1--i hate that number
1--i despise all that it means
1--you angered me
when rating me
and the pain is so unreal
somehow, some way
i have to deal

i know we have opiinions
so why not just write me
in a comment or a message
to express your thoughts to me

that's far better than a cold handslap
across this poet's face
this pain won't be resolved
until i state my case

1 is very lonely
1 is oh so cruel
1 can make you angry
make you look like a fool

1 will never satisfy
'til the day i die

My poetry is my baby...when even one poem is ranked that low, it really hurts. I hope Emptyness Inside Me doesn't mind my borrowing his name for this poem

I'm glad "Hoo Dat" is finally slipping lower and lower. What i was afraid of was that it would stay at the top and become my "Greatest Hit". Or my only hit, so to speak. There are some revamped editions of poetry that didn't get many views on my list of poems. I'd like to see people give them a chance. Of course, i can't and won't force anyone to check them out. Have a great day.

Yeah, i was mad, but a few ones shouldn't bother me.
A former member wrote: I find myself highly jealous of your ability to feel so much. However, this is the internet and whereas I agree that it is wholly unnecessary to rate anything so low I think it would be unhealthy to take any unmerited negativity too personally. Your work is very good, and in the end you can't please everyone. Don't let one persons opinion dampen your spirit.

Well, the anger was intense, but it subsided. Getting a few ones isn't so bad i guess; it's just that i was hurt because i'd not scored so low before. But all i can try to do is keep improving.

You're a great writer and I cannot justify why anyone would rate anyone low. It's to ruin off the good poets I suppose. I've never rated anyone below a 10. I know each person has worked hard to display their emotions. Daid in classy way. Bows-

Half my works never get rated but it doesn't bother me. I write because it's a passion and if it's not liked... Their loss, love. Don't let it break you down. Stand strong and "keep on keeping on" a little verse from the Bible. ;) I like your spirit. .hugs.

I like being #1 personally. There's some deep emotions displayed here, never mind the childish idiocracy :)
