No Horse S**t Shakespeare!

A sad reflection...

 

When birthdays

are mentioned,

Your Silence speaks.

 

When health problems

are mentioned

Your Silence reeks

 

Of volumes of callousness

Hidden behind

your none speech.

Author's Note

I am the eldest of six, and since my mother died I have discovered that only one of my siblings thinks more of me than the family horse. It is a shame, on them and par for the course.

ps Tai is 21 again on Saturday...for the 30th time!

Silence is a killer, sometimes..You emphasize it. A implosion of frustration !! Great work..

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Also, Happy belated 21st Birthday!
You look sixteen!

You look beautiful no matter 21 or 31 or 41.. ect.

peace and love xo

Tia, this poem makes me sad. I like the use of no speech ... I sometimes feel like the black sheep in my family.

It is sad for family to argue and take advantage of one , or more within the family and it is also in a way heartless not to listen, not to speak.

Nicely written .. although sad..

Peace
Chloe

Ha. Well adjusted Tai. Like Dr Seuss said, Be yourself and say what you feel. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Nice write.

[Tomás Ó C..]

Silence can be more hurtful than a thousand insults!

[Rapterj]

Expression is at its best when written to the deepest of feelings...sentiment is best recalled with laughter, and sorrow is best awayed with sarcasm.

But to the best of times, and for the worst of times, wishing you the merriest of occasions on your repeated mark of 21! Happy birthday! and Have fun, despite what else may come!

I write poems in order to express the sorrow Ivor!lol otherwise I would become like them, or die.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I am sure my birthday will fulfill all expectations.

Smiling at you
