No one ever answers
or says to me, “Good bye”
no passerby will wave
or greet me with a, “Hi”
I live each day alone,
sorrow is my home
I’ve never seen a smile
nor heard a laugh or praise
I stroll through the shadows
and my life is a daze
to nights, my days are turning,
like a worm, I’m squirming
No one knows my name
or has told me theirs
I’ve tried to kill myself
but no one ever cares
with hatred as my prompter,
through sadness, I will saunter
I know this can’t be true
but I’m not one to trust
I know I’ll be alone
as I turn to dust
I’m much more than dismissible,
I must be invisible.

Very nice! Rest assured you won’t be alone, for we all turn to dust!
Off topic, can we talk chess? Please feel free to delete this portion of the comment if you will. I think you might be the go to person if my memory is correct, as you play chess, probably more than I do.

Let me see how I can state this simply. I published today, I hope I used the chess terms correctly within the context of the poem. Not asking you to like the poem, completely unnecessary, if you would just read it and see if it makes sense or if I’m completely incorrect in my leap with the terms, of course I did take some liberties. Would you consider doing that for me?

i like the fools mate reference.
i have never heard of a cross-check, aside from hockey.

ha-ha, OMG, I have not even been to a hockey game in years, I totally forgot about that, now you made me think of the term “hip-chuck”! Actually ,”cross-check” was the term that I took the liberty with, as it never involves a knight. Thank you, so much, feel free to delete all this bullshit from your blog. Very kind of you, please enjoy the rest of your day, and do you have plans for any more open mic nights?

Ha-ha! No. But seriously, I was looking to find a local stand-up comedy class to take. Just to see if I have the nerve. I have a very dry and twisted sense of humor. But I don’t think I could read my poetry. Ha-ha, really, “actually talk to people”, is that your sense of humor? I don’t believe that, you are so calm on the YouTube videos. Well, I wish you the best luck on Sunday and I know that everything will go smoothly!

Oh sure, I would need a few stiff drinks in order to do that cold, with no experience. I’m thinking baby steps, ha-ha! I recall you told me that you have done it. How did it go? Did you feel comfortable and was everyone on the floor with laughter?

i was probably the most petrifying experience of my life, including having a crazy person chase me.
the people that liked it liked it a lot, a lot of other people were visibly disgusted.

LOL! Oh god, a crazy chased you? But you still did it, what is the draw for you? How are you able to get up and do it? So half and half, those are pretty good numbers.

the crazy people are unrelated to it.
i enjoyed the experience, its something im glad i did. i actually did it mostly to get better at public speaking. i figured if i could joke about pedophilia, bestiality, domestic abuse, etc in front of complete strangers, i could have small talk with dumb people.
