For what it's worth
I hate drama...I especially hate being in the middle of, side of, or next to drama.
and here I am.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I wrote a poem...called "Smile...and say goodbye"
It was about losing a friend .
The poem was very painful for me to write...it is still
very painful for me to read some SIX years later. If
I dwell on it at this moment, I could be in tears. I
posted said poem.
Hooded Stranger, read that poem and took some
inspiration from it, and wrote one of his own. I was
floored when I saw his post, since his title contained
my title..."Sand..(smile and say goodbye..losing a friend is not easy) "Sand", his title, the rest mine
What ya'll need to know here is; Hooded Stranger and
I were at one time friends. Close friends..we thought.
It is no ones business what ended that. ( though Patrick
is privy to the facts because he is my significant other.)
Though no longer friends, when he(HS) posted his
poem, I was surprised to see my poem referenced,
and linked.
HS stated that this was his take, or version on
mine. The other side of the "Coin" I believe, is what
he said. Hard to tell now. His original responses to
all those that replied, have changed. Funny, mention of me,
as he did a few times...is now gone.
I digress. I try at all (well, most) times to maintain some
integrity. I considered not responding at all to Dans poem.
I pondered it for days. I then decided, since I was mentioned
as a driving force, to not respond would be rude, friend or not.
So, I did my best to simply be honest in my response. I really
thought I could do it and that Dan would understand. He didn't.
I do not critique. I do not have the knowledge to critique. I simply
told how I felt . I did feel I could be myself in answering. MY
FEELINGS about his opposing view...the POEM..not us...NOT US
he still thought it was about him. There in is where the problem began...
and now it goes on and on
For those of you that have no clue what I am rambling on about...
PRAISE DE LAWD.
For any that think you might have a clue....suck this up because I
am done with the drama. STICK A FORK IN ME>>>DONE!!!
Mona....you can't save the world.....and trust me...not all deserve saving.
and here I am.
