“Validation Slip”
I have a strong sense
of what is going on
besides words
that are written
My intuition always
speaks
even when
I choose
not to
listen
I am drawn
into other
people’s world
not for
its curiosity
it’s because
of their
pain
I am so
used to
pain
to me
it’s
validation
of my being
Instead of
happiness
I need
the pain
to know
I’ve succeeded
Even worst to be inflicted by their pain instead of liking them,or how about you liking the pain as you would like them to like ………………
(I am always pushing the envelope,it’s who I am ,yesterday I had opened the floor up with a question, I had a lot of responses,now as time goes on and I feel more comfortable,we well go on with the discussion, but today’s topic is PAIN)
I could write a book on pain and intuition. Thanks, Sheldon.
Pain…not a great topic I think and so cliche. Not to say I don’t enjoy your poem, but pain…let’s not wallow in it!
I can totally relate to this Sheldon…thank you for sharing your truth. Courageous
I don’t agree with Marissa, respectfully. I don’t believe it’s cliche nor do I think you’re wallowing in it. You’re expressing what you need to…god knows some of the, most of our greatest creativity is produced from pain. We know not happiness without pain. We get to know our true selves through pain.
