"How is it then that in the cosmic plan / Someone like me ends up a public man?"

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"

LOL!
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.

Steven:

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!

((((( Love and Hugs )))))

And Steven you are very prolific. We stand together in the world with cruelty all around us, yet we find the strength to continue to give of ourselves, when help or advice is needed. We can laugh at ourselves, and with others at ourselves too. My life has been frought with pain, misery, selfish relatives, fear, terror, and lonliness. But together dear brother, we can beat the world at their own game and come out on top. I know now that I will never please everyone with my life, but it is the life I so desparately need to live. Hang in there dear brother, there is a rainbow cause here comes the sun after the dismal rain. Cry if you must, but laugh harder. show the unkind ones they have not gotten to you.

As you there for me dear brother, I too am here for you in unadulterated solidarity and friendship for always. Love, your sister.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), yourlittle terrified sister, Barbie

AS soon as we pick up a medium, whether it be pen, pencil, brush, clay etc to create art we open ourselfs to the public around us and I guess it is a two sided coin of whether it is good or bad.
