Sometimes I have the urge to put myself in other people’s shoes… to think of how I would feel when the world was knocking on my door.
********************************************************************
I witnessed it all
You didn’t realize,
that day I was watching,
wondering if you knew my name.
You didn’t notice,
when I said my hello,
for the first time I spoke.
You didn’t care,
how I fumbled my words,
making myself seem so insane.
You didn’t know,
that my heart cared so,
even when I said good-bye.
************************************************
The ignorance of man
To all the women, who regardless of how they are treated in life, shine like brilliant diamonds under the brightest sun.
The ladies who work all day trying to create something amazing,
if not for themselves, then for the people they care for.
I cannot tell you, how daft I am to not know your beauty.
To all the women, who without pause find themselves in hours of effort, only to find themselves sitting alone with no one to talk to.
Beautiful, insightful souls who are quiet amongst an audience of strangers as they speak to themselves with such perfect voices.
I regret that I am, simply ignorant of things I should not be.
To all the women, who have no names,
the caring, the vibrant, the passionate souls,
who find it within themselves to help man find our errors,
even when, as often as we do, find ourselves lost among the blind.
I am, after all, a man. With my heartfelt apology.
