The Fool Who Assumed

A poem about a man who assumed

All you have are suppositions

You held on to as the truth

Twined in your mind

With incomplete conversation 

Your own imagination 

Misguided information 

All to spin the perfect tapestry 

On your idealistic loom 

And so the picture didn't match reality

Once the image has been complete

And you became quick to blame

That I had lead you to this deceit 

When in fact you had failed to listen 

To my warnings asking you to retreat

I tried to be kind

But you are so inclined 

To make me into something I'm not 

So I ended the dream 

With an honest scream

"The art of speculation 

Has made you the victim of your own mind"

Spin a noose 

from the thread you used

And kill the tapestry  

You've sewn

This is who I really am 

And if you can't handle that 

I'm gone

I really liked this one. It strikes me as deeply personal, displaying your true emotion. This one alone, picked at random, has me intrigued to read the rest! The style has a lot to do with it as well. I hope you keep writing and continue to upload you works here for us all to enjoy. Good work.

Absolutely my favorite writing you have posted on here... The vivid imagery, and ingrained, almost potent feeling of bordered dismay at lost understanding... Is quite starkly lit, and excellently spaced. Wordplay is vivid, imaginative, and really makes one "feel" the betrayal of reason within the confines of logic... Conversation, ideas, they can all get twisted to fit the needs of the user. We are human, some of us worse than others. Great inspiration comes with grating nuisance, sometimes. Great stuff, keep it up...

Wow. Strong enough to blow away any speculations and powerful enough to speak truth to power . No time to waste on people like that....
Excellent. ...:::))))
