my foolishness in turning to you
for what i know you cannot provide
has me marvelously entertained
at my own expense
and no one will be surprised
and no one will be more pleased
when you paint me even more foolish
by providing what you cannot
and making me look even dumber
than i already do
for the stupider i get
the happier i am

Makes for great laughs...you know...the high notes of
our stupidity, I've discovered. I've had my greatest
laughs at my own way-over-the-top stupidity. (few regrets)

Ummm, hon......
This is one piece that describes 9/10ths of society at one point or another in each life, including mine. LOL.. self laughter is often the best medicine for those souls that need it most. -
Well I don’t think those comments were justified. I thought it was well written with more a symbolic imagery than a vivid one. The flow was good with palatable verbiage that fell off the lips. I also liked the structure. Content was a bit weak but all in all a very nice piece. You’re a very talented poet. Amera

OK. Content weak? Then, what is the subject of this work?

Oh my! (Ducking from the stones covering my head cowering in shame) first of all I meant no insult and merely thought you were looking for honest all be it misdirected points of view from various readers. It seems I was mistaken and I humbly apologize. I did preface my critique by defending you.
To answer your question; I believe it represented the first person view of the stupidity of the majority. Representing that people who criticize you (the first person) are not stupid until they open their mouth and prove their stupidity to you. Much like I just did with my critique. As I write this answer I do believe I was wrong; what I meant by weak was the lack of physical imagery yet now I realize you were focusing on psychological imagery. Am I correct or do you just hate girls?

You make me laugh! Thank you. The actual meaning is that I turn to someone for love that they cannot provide, fully expecting they cannot, but knowing I am stupid for being such a harsh critic. Then, due to my intense hatred of girls, I compound my foolishness by hoping for what I do not expect, and feeling even dumber when I get it. This is supposed to be very funny, and true.

bad relationship?? I'm sorry if it was becaues it's not the best thing to ever go through. It's even worse when someone plays with your emotions and it just truly hurts. I loved your piece I could truly feel the hurt and sting of this piece and you got out what was on your chest. Hope things are better

I must have done a bad job writing this, as it actually is supposed to say that I judge people too harshly, then, thankfully, ignore my judgments and trust them anyways. Then when they exceed the judgments I had made, I am thrilled that I was proven stupid. The hurt and sting of this piece is the struggle to get myself to stop judging! Even though I don't usually make any important decisions based upon my foolish judgments, it would be much more convenient not to make them at all. I love your comment anyways, because it proves I was foolish once again with my words. *sigh*

actually hon... this is a great piece from the view of someone who is so honest with themselves that they must be honest with all others. I loved the poem and understood from just the teaser that you were talking about someone who keeps going back to another for something that they must find within themselves before they can go on with living. Not existence, but actually living and learning that it is ok to let the past go and look forward to the future after you have learned the lessons that the past and present are giving to you.
