I have had my share of physical and emotional hurt, I stand strong,
When It Is said that I’m a mean sort of man, then you don’t know who I am.
If talk about me and criticism without the facts behind my back Is what you choose,
Not a friend of mine you will find when your mouth opens much to wide.
My struggles are accepted, I bow down to no one for anything,
I’ve been laughed at for my writing by mostly those whom should love and support me.
When you think you know me whether you do or you don’t,
What kind of person might you be If you wish failure and hurt on me.
Music is fine as Bruce Springsteen the boss Is one listened to anytime,
I walk the miles and feel sorry for those whom wear not a smile.
If you have not a care then shake not this mans working hand,
When you think you know me, think again, are you really family or friend.

I am following this blog for a reason. Please check it out.
Knowing, really knowing, another human can be a wonderful, frightful adventure.
Amen! Just started writing a blog and it’s those who are closest to me that have the most criticism. No worries; I’ll keep writing and keep touching those who are open to it. Keep doing what’s in your heart to do and don’t listen to those who don’t support you. Peace, my friend.
powerful stuff !
Thanks always.
