It's Not My Problem.

Goldfinch60



Who are you?

Who am I?

We are each individuals

So unique within ourselves.

Many people accept these differences,

Some people do not.

The way I look at my life

Is that this is me,

It is what I am,

And if people do not like

Like what they see

It is their problem,

Not mine.

        I'll go along with that all day long Andy. And those whose problem it is either don't know or care. But a fine write here. 👍

          as long as I'm not hurting someone on purpose
          or where necessary
          have belatedly, apologised for doing-so unknowingly
          and more importantly, ceased those harmful actions;
          all the rest: can go F themselves...
          for no one, removed their free will option
          to completely ignore my existence
          in the abundant and varied paths available
          for them to traverse their life, excluding me
          because I for one can categorically guarantee
          I ain't wasting a second on their petty foolery;
          its just that, sadly - for far too many
          waging wars is their pathetic choice
          for an obsessively distracting
          self-deluding: way of life...
          so yeah, I completely agree Andy
          (sorry, that's two foul language yellow cards
          in quick - recent succession, I'll try to proactively avoid it
          in the near future
          its just that your writing, has a way
          of directly impacting
          the root cause, at the nuclease
          of your subject matter)
          thank you, dear Poet
          I must confess, I found reading and commenting
          on your write today, thoroughly therapeutic
          enough to make me feel guilty, for not being able
          to reimburse your poetic generosity
          someday, I can - hopefully
          pen something, to return the favour..

            Thank you Mek for your most thoughtful words, I appreciate them all.

            I was brought up under the influence of parents who had to keep up appearances and the effect on me was long lasting and had very negative affect upon my 'self image'.

            It took many years for most of this to filter away but still a lot remains. I envy your freedom of mind to be so confident.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you d a. This was brought on a number of years ago when I was told "If you do not have this operation you will die". I realised that I had been given a second chance at life so nothing can harm me now and life is so meaningful.

              So liberating when we finally figure this out isn't it Andy......

              • Goldfinch60

                It surely is Lorna, thank you.

                Rightly said Andy. You are what you are nobody can change that. But to expose it and get expect acceptance for it need courage . A good read

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you for your kind words TKKKK.

                  Andy,

                  I’m appreciative of your wonderful poem. You’re so right about how we should feel about ourselves; especially when we’ve been gifted with another chance to continue to live our life. Let’s be thankful and live the rest of our days the way they’re intended for us to do so.

                  Thank you for sharing.

                  Laura🌻

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Laura, my absolute pleasure.

                    Andy
