Resemblance Poem by John Lyday

Wow, no I mean WOW this is a very good write, deep and emotional 10+++

Wow John, you dug in deep with this one and it works. Its touching and i love it all though this is my favorite :) I test the very limits of endurance, and deny to all that’s holy that I weep. The man I was is now but a resemblance. Rejection hurt me hard and hit me deep. Artfully expressed. Thank you for sharing your talent. A def 10++++++

How sad that rejection has the power to pull the rug out from under our self-confidence. But to think that pity would lead to compassion, is even worse. This is definitely a depressing read, John. I suspect most of us have been there at least once, maybe more than once. You nailed it! Linda : -)

I read this on the forum and liked it very much. There is something sullen (and desperate) about this piece that many will find a connection with – the fact that it has balance and is very well written makes it a pleasure to read in spite of the sullenness (if that makes any sense) . Well done, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
