This is written with Fell Pony In mind
I was always taught It takes a strong man or women to apologize
So here Is my apology. Here's hoping that reading it will in
someway help you understand
There I'm wrong again
Will I ever get It right
Learn not to judge myself
Or prosume others might
Our lives cause curiosity
Which leads to Insecurity
I mustn't let it get the best of me
My demons I must fight
My problem not yours

Any forum like this is a hard place to be when there are perceived insults.Without body language, facial clues and knowing the real context of anyone's life it is easy to jump to inaccurate conclusions. We all pride ourselves in the use of words - but we all sometimes struggle to portray or read accurately.
I reckon the most telling line in this is: Or presume others might.
A brave piece MC. Admiration.
Phil | Well said!

I think your post here is heartfelt and brave.
I agree with Phil above.
All the best - Cheers!
Respect!

Like Phil, I found the most profundity in the line: Or presume others might.

Written by mia_ms_kim (1057 comments posted) 4th May 2008 | I thought this was a good succinct wisdom poem, something most of us would do well to think about. Who doesn't have insecurities to work out? None of us had perfect parents, families, communities or schools etc that messed us up in some way. I really liked the last line, strong ownership. I find it empowering. In the end, the burden is on the one who suffers whatever handicap in life, to overcome it - that has been my belief, and I've had to overcome quite a few myself. And some things - I doubt I can completely overcome them, so I try to manage them. I can understand a little where you are coming from, meadow. And your writing is getting better and better in my opinion.

I remember a quote from Ruby Was on accepting an award
"I'd like to thank my parents for my emotional hang ups and also my analyst for making them marketable"
You are who you are, and what you write comes from it. Most of what I write is forgettable tosh and probably offends someone somewhere but if it worried me I'd never write anything. | Bottleblondesurfer
Written by meadowcroft1964 (244 comments posted) 5th May 2008 | I offer no apology for this work it wasn't meant to be a great work of art ,just my way of expressing a heartfelt apology to someone who I had no right to judge and whose writing I've come to have great respect for. I have tried being all things to all people I just ended up completely knacked and totally confused. So I decided just to be me. My way Is when you're wrong don't hide away, face up and say sorry. I put this in the form of a poem because I find it easier to express myself that way. If it be self effacing so be it
To all
one of the good thing that's come from this debate , my brain hasn't had such a work out in many a day. Horses and chickens aren't great conversationalist
One of the bad things is I haven't gotten any housework done H.E.L.P can anyone use a iron as good as they use the pen
