His Thoughts Poem by Ashley Stone

what alovely poem well executed well wrote thums up

I can totally relate to this! I've been on this side before and I think you captured what it feels like brilliantly. Distraught, frustration, uncertainty, and fear that maybe once you have an answer you won't like what it is, making things even worse. I really love your poem because it talks about something that doesn't just go away. It's there while it's happening, in the aftermath, in years later, it might not ever be answered. The question, 'Why? ' The question that you are burning to have answered, but that you think might be better off not known. And even if you were told the answer you might not believe it. I know I didn't, not the one I got. I dismissed it as a lie because the reason I got wasn't even close to being valid. I would rather keep my assumptions. But the question will always be there in the back of mind, 'What were they thinking? ' Why did they do it? Sorry I sort of ranted, but I just love how your poem gets the gears in my head turning. I don't even know what adjectives to put to it, it's so...it's the best poem I've read in a long time. This is why I love the written word because with only 26 letters arranged however you wanted them, you were able to make me think, to make me feel. You were able to influence me with only letters. That is why writing was invented.
