Great poem, dear Chana... my heart is going out to you. ;-) I recognize the feeling only too well...

Hmmm...I do believe that I can seriously relate to this one Chana. Just keep on keepin' on for yourself honey. That's all we really can do. If by chance the one who you want to notice, notices then cool and if not what more can one do?

Words can never truly experess a reality. Every poet eventually learns this

A beautiful and moving poem Chana, but don't let that stiletto get near you...

This is so much of what I have felt. Too many times i find somebody that can't even stand the part of me that is vital. I am not so complicated, and it is all on paper so to speak. Yet I am accused of playing games when I am who I say? I love what you have written my friend!!! Blessings.

A glass of wine extended to you... Chana, there are those who appreciate you and hear you and know you. We hear you.

I agree with Sandi S. we all, both listen and hear you, even if you don't know it. Some times even when you don't say a thing.

some people just don't get you. you can either keep trying to get through or chalk it up as their inability or disinterest.

it's never futile... it might just reach a different audience than you hoped.

It is never futility to write, especially about your emoitions or state of mind. Even if noone else ever understands or appreciates, it helps to roganize, clear, and refresh your mind and soul.

One precious gift I hope you take away from this writing is that so many felt validated in their own journeys with these feelings. It was an immediate connection and quite lovely in it's ability to open the heart.
