Feeling real

Tired of being told I am stupid,

For holding my views

For speaking my mind to share with you,

Tired of being told I am wrong

And of being shouted down,

It’s best I think if I make no sound

Everything I am told that I is wrong,

And that I’ve no idea

Speaking out about global project fear,

Trying to exercise free speech

Just keep getting insults back,

Personal slants and being told I lack,

Some kind of right to say how I feel

But I say what I say because what I say feels real.

  1. screw em. there’s very, very few people that you need approval from. as for the rest, look at them as if they’ve lost their damn minds.

  2. You speak your truth my friend. Thank you for sharing this feeling with us. Writers having a forum to speak their truth is what this community is for and should never say or hurt anyone for any reason. If someone doesn’t agree then there is no need to say anything. As long as there is no hate speech or discrimination to other people, what could be wrong. I hope this is just a poem and not what you are feeling, because being unkind to anyone in this writing community is not kind. Sending you an especially big hug. You keep writing your truth. xoxoxo

      1. Oh well I am happy to hear it. Most people are reasonable but there will always be a few that don’t know how to agree to disagree. My pleasure. Big hugs 🤗 Joni

  3. It’s hard to have an opinion these days. I have even received death threats for just having an opinion.
