Going Public: Too Sensitive?
My friends all say I am too sensitive
Unkind ones get to me too easily
If there is anyone under the sun
More fragile than me I have yet to see
One and in give and take I am all give
How is it then that in the cosmic plan
Someone like me ends up a public man?
As others scrutinize and criticize
I agonize but then I realize
This is my lot in life it is my fate
To be an open book for all to read
And if you do then I appreciate
It and I hope we meet each other's need
Somehow
Despite my sensitivity I still write quite a lot
I maximize what little I am given or have got
And now
In predicting my obituary I can be specific
I am sure someday someone someway will use the word "prolific"

Stevie the word prolific does come to mind when I think of you but you never sacrifice quality in the interests of quality. It always amazes me that you can produce consistently good work. You are an example to all.

During the recent years right up until last year, I thought some people who worked for magazine similar to "National Enquirer" had been following me. I often thought I was living just for the public.
You can read and learn about this in my short story in my "Stories" section, entitled, "Another Strange Dream I Had Some Time Ago," which I had written at a time that I felt some people were watching over me everyday on another poetry board. It had affected me so badly that I was having nightmare as you can see it in my dream.
Hope you are not feeling as bad as the way I felt in those days. Hope your feeling like this is a short-lived one.
I can sympathize with you, for I know this feeling only too well!
