Waiting for Goodfornothing

you don't want friendship

nor need  support

as you wallow

in loathing self-pity

praising evil deeds

of doormats 

 more pathetic than yourself

ignoring the truth

that all good people have suffered,

defenseless

against indignities and cruelty

they never deserved.

Some people are just like that.

Interesting write, yes all good people suffer to soome extent and it how we choose to channel that suffering that defines us.

[Pól]

Precisely.

So what support did you offer? Easy to critisise and see the truth from outside. I have spent the last two years beeing abused but didn't know it. It is a scathing piece and well written as usual. It has emotion and conveys the message succinctly!

[Pól]

Agreed, John. Its not autobiographical so i didn't actually offer any support. I suppose the message is "tough love". Sorry about the last two years, hope its over now.

Hi Paulo, yes all is good. I found the strength not to be defined by the person you are with and to stop rescuing people and concentrate on me. I do not have great demands on life. Peace, my writing, creativity and sharing people's stories-sorted. Oh and rugby union, music and making a difference for people with mental illness.
