Jaded

Can you write, "dribble"?

or do you have to apply yourself?

It matters, not-enter the, "contest of poems"!

Something should be said,

of ridding the world of this dread.

It's a broken record...

..guess I'm jaded.

Tunes can carry you,

carry you away from inside yourself.

It matters not, that you're beside yourself.

If you're open, the message still-will come.

It's a broken record...

..guess I'm jaded.

There's so much at stake.

Life tugs at the harp of fate,

relax and you'll find

life doesn't mean to treat you unkind,

It matters not, it's all a broken record.

Guess I'm jaded.

How very strange

That you write a poem calling yourself jaded, when you have learnt and worked and improved yourself so much in the time I have known you. Not just the quality of your poetry but in the deep thoughtful ideas you have given. Perhaps you were having a bad night? At least 7/8 of the poets on this site suffer from depression if not all the time, at least some of the time. And we are still alive. That's got to say something doesn't it? Introspection, care for the world, it's not all happy. Yet still we care for love,beauty and joy. The rest are just Hallmark rejects. cheers, Jess
