Sometimes I wonder that too, but when I get in touch with friends and family the outlook changes. we can all make it a better world by being friendly and giving smiles away!

I MUST AGREE WITH WHOEVER TOLD YOU THIS REGIS BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT (TO THE WORLD'S GREAT BENEFIT) THERE IS A CERTAIN PART OF POETS THAT DO NOT 'GROW UP'...THUS...THE GIFT WITHIN US IS ABLE TO 'SPEAK' TO THE HEARTS OF THE YOUNG AND THE OLD...WHICHEVER THE 'READER' WANTS, OR HAPPENS, TO BE. POETS ARE EMOTIONAL AND TENDER PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD MADE THEM THAT WAY...AND THERE IS SOMEONE THAT CARES WHEN NO ONE ELSE DOES REGIS, AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW...WHO THAT SOMEONE IS. THANKS FOR SHARING, GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESSINGS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

There are those who came, but seem few and far between.

"Who Cares" Regis honestly I believe there is something so special about a man who can truly express himself and also who stays in tune with the innermost deepness of masculinity. Not waivering with the fact of showing one's own vulnerabilities.

Always blessings and good wishes to you,
~Gwendolyn

Regis,
As you know I am very emotional woman with passions of my heart. As for me...my passions are not secluded to one area of emotions or desires.
In my passions of my sorrow like anyone's does hurt & tears fall.
For me it is in a means of releasing the grief, or frustration...it is all good & renewing for acceptance of a lesson towards wisdom & a cherished blessing of our journey to further acceptance.
I Care & I Love You My Friend.

Don't shy away from someone so sensitive, some day you may need them to cry for you...this is very thought provoking and full of truth. Very well done, Regis.
Leann

People are often scared at open display of emotion..epecially what they determine as 'gloomy' emotion..I just LOVE songs about the rain..Rainy Night In Georgia, Rhythm Of The Rain...I was described as 'strange'...I don't care..and I cry and fill up at the drop of a hat! It's Fear. I like the way you raise these issues in your work...and I enjoy the way you put the words together! Best wishes. Diana.

People who "wear their hearts on their sleeve" are often the most difficult to get to know but the most worthy to be known - and often the world shakes its head and passes them by, like they also do many poetic and muical souls!
PS: great topics you plumb with your "short line"!

I guess we all care about something. It may not be healthy, but it's a start.

Tony

First Regis, I hate it when people comment on you instead of the poem and we have been friends for a long time- you know that, so I won't. I think the poem is very beautiful and sad. It is simple and should be-good work!

First, Reg...don't believe everything your told; it's just one person's opinion. Many people care, and their called true friends or a love.
Second...some people say foolish things in a moment of anger; things that oft' cannot be "taken-back". Forget those words.

Love this meaningful and heartfelt ('tho sad) poem. You have a warm heart that inspires all your poetry and writings...just keep 'em coming to us.

{{{hugs}}} Micke

A deep and oh so true write. Peace and love. Pamela

No one cares huh, I guessthe love I feel isn't true (NOT)
cuz, I cry on the drop of dime! commercials and other shows bring tears as easily as I write Reg.
We have it badddddddd.. and that is goooooood!
Love your heart and this poem!
I know it's been awhile, so let's see What ElSe you have written! and expressed for our poetic ears!
and YES! SOMEONE Cares,the most important!!!
Warmest Blessings, Inner Light, LOVE and Warm Hugs, Warrior Purple Lady Sweet Sheooxooo

STay Positive!
This poem is written with an easy eloquence! to the ears and heart!

Nicely delivered. Your poetry is very powerful and profound and your masterful use of words takes this poem to depths unknown. Truly a wonderful poem.

Poignant.

You have perfectly captured that sense of alienation felt by the sensitive soul chafing at life in the "real world". A bittersweet, slightly painful read.

Ah Regis, how deeply this touched my heart. You express this sad feeling so very well. excellently written.

Reindeer

Many ways you could expand on this poem. It is sad that there is domestic violence in the world, that so many women/men get caught up in this never ending cycle. What was your inspiration behind "Who cares?"

This is so sad. To live in a great world of people and feel no one cares is equivalent to the bottom falling out of one's life. Yet, we must always remember that loving oneself is not selfish, it is necessary so it serves as a teacher of love that we can send out to others. When we love ourselves, we can look within instead of without when we need to draw on needed strength.

A touching and powerful write.

Excellent write posing legitimate questions about human nature. R

Touching poem my friend....heartfelt....love n luck...BHUWAN!!!!

A strong and insightful comment - beautiful. Willie

f they don't care, then they aren't worth it. When you find the right person, you will find that caring comes as part the package.

You have penned a heart touching poem about a subject that many won't touch.

Who Cares? I care.

~hugs & kisses~
Karen

So untrue and Heart~Touching~`*
Many care*`~

And I have found that to be all too true too Reg. It is a sad day when no one cares about the plight of others, but expects others to care about them. When I lived in Wisconsin no one cared what Barbara had done or was about to do, least of all not her tears. But when I moved to Australia I found that others here do care, and that is a positive thing.

When someone is sad, we should at least ask if anything is wrong. If they say no, then offer a good day to them, and go. But we should at least ask.

May ther 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, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Be careful to whom you're listening, then!

Sometimes it is a very good idea to let go of people who don't 'get us'...if at all possible.

love,
Gina

Beautifully expressed emotions...
Cryssa
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the den and reviewing my poetry.

hello Regis, they say believe all of what we see and none of what we hear. There are those who care and those who don't give a dam. I like to be around loving caring people as opposed to cold hearted none caring. Your poem does make one think

As whimsy as gossamer on a summer breeze....I like that, Poet.

Beautifully expressed. Safi

Lovely, effective, yet simple, direct... I like this.
And I can see that many fellow authors like this too.
Maybe because poetic souls feel this way - I can certainly say I do.
When the surface is too choppy, restless, we reach for the depths and try to bring out the beauty that is there. We cannot be satisfied by looking at the surface... not all the time!

Axilea

You have such an insightful, well-done poem here, Regis. I've noticed the same thing many times, but then also noticed those people who sometimes subtly help without great show. I like lines like "And suuperficial love as whimsy As gossamer on a summer breeze. Great thoughts, great writing. My compliments to the girl in the photo, very expressive...Jerry

We owe each other a little care Reg, even those who cry easily. But the world gets more selfish every day and there is more pressure to ask "what's in it for me" before offdering a little of ourselves.

Fine poem

In many instances we are our own worst enemy, we feel sad when we should have been happy. We have to be happy within ourselves first in order to receive happiness from others.

Love your write. Take care, Regis!!!!!

Love,

Sandie Angel :o)

Caring less means caring...you write with such finesse...love it! HUGS

. . . so I've been told as well on occasion too my friend. Who cares? But you know, there are times when many of us have been our own worst enemy, and when we choose to stop crying, others will figure out that we've decided to change the course of our lives, and start claiming. As for me, God's Son cares. There is a wonderful youtube on this that made a grown man cry, based on his posting, check it out:

much love to you in this, and many blessin's,
cynth'ya

There are some who are so careless with other people's hearts that tear so easily. There are those who mend them then rip them apart. Finally, we are led to believe there are those who really do care and for this reason we continue to hope. Yes i do believe there are people that do care in this world. But sometimes it's hard to differentiate truth from lies.

Wow, your poetry is very good.
Sad and heartfelt
I had the same thought
does one really care?
Good choice of words

Riley B

Excruciatingly good!! Keep topping yourself this way, gon' end up too high to reach, man. Really. This is f i n e. Thank you!!!
<3 Pea <3

Much emotion emitted in this sad write. It touches ones soul with heartfelt melancholy... Some one does care!!!!!!......M

Well said, Regis. Photo is a perfect fit/
Peace and Blessings,
Carolyn

This is lovely poetry, Regis, on a melancholy theme.

(PS: Thank you for reading mine.
I'm Canadian, btw, just like you.
Seems my passion might have fooled you ;)

Helga

Regs when someone speaks to me then I believe they need an ear to listen to them although I may not make things right for them but I do care, and if I turn to someone I hope that they do but it doesn't always work that way, sorry. Thank you for sharing.
Newfie Hugs, Rose

While most people say they care, very few actually do. A sad reality. Beautifully penned, Reg. Thank you for sharing it.

Be well,
Sheri

I have to say that I agree with Fee here, it's a strange phenomena of human nature to allow ourselves to rest our sorrows on the wrong shoulders or let the wrong ears hear our lamenting. All human beings have the right to lament, this is something that was created within us, or the tear ducts were a big mistake LOL.
Peeps can have their opinions and say what they like, if what they hear isnt something they can deal with, or want to deal with. Tis best to shrug off such fickle responses and seek the counsel of those who have been through the similar situations, therefore are equipped to give a reasonable empathetic response. Sympathy in this life is useless, empathy is what is needed when suffering hits and hits hard, and unless another has walked a mile in the same moccasins,he dont know squat bout you're feeling or needs.
This is something that lifeline counsellors the world over are taught, but they dont get to that position to start with, unless they have a fairly good base knowledge and life with variants to suit.
Pick your shoulders wisely, that is what I tell myself, even though I dont always, but pass it on I will anyway LOL
Peace be with you dear friend,
God bless
Ch'erie

Just truly beautiful words....made me feel really glad that I stopped by to read you...thank you!

Splendid work, nothing wrong with tears as long as they are genuine.

Best wishes

Regis,
if I may be s bluntly.... some poeple say they care - and some really give a damn!
Lovely write,
Becca~

an outstanding write Regis on facts of life
I've seem so much of
Peace be with you

William

Very well written, conveys a lot of emoton to the reader. I can relate to this.

Ed

I have been 'told' many things and most of which I salute with a harumph and go about my way... ))
Myrna

So you've been told ... but you didn't say so you believe, and I suspect you do not.
Graceful, beautiful and multilayered.

Simple, yet deep at the same time. And I think we all feel this way in life at one time or another. Excellently expressed.

I care Regis and I know you do too!!
Never stop bello, beating your loving heart!
Love, Suzie :-D

I Care Regis More About Your Children Our Children More Than Most Of You So Called Caring Humans Care About Your Pets/Animals...

TRASK

So many times, I have heard a young person cry these same tears...When my children went through emotional breakdowns such as this...we would cry and laugh at the same time, as I would sing...
"Noboddddy loooooves meeeee, Everyboddddddy haaaaates meeeee, I might as well eat a worm!", and they couldn't help but laugh! :)
I do hope the world will always keep our angels close by when we need them most...
So enjoyed...your words speak volume!
Love and Peace~
Kimmy~

I personally think that many people
Have days where we have felt this way
I know I have many, and it’s very sad
To feel that no one cares
Tears that is a way to released and cleansed
Your soul
I think many of us can relate to this poem!
This poem is filled with deep emotions
And sadness a very powerful heartfelt write
You’re a brilliant poet my friend!!
Peace Love and Hugssss…..Morning Star
PS We All care we are your friends!!!!

Regis,
I think this was a very heartfelt poem. I love the simplicity of it as well as the depth of feeling you get across.
Larry

I agree with Ed, I think
as a whole people care or
at least I hope so!

Those that told you that are grossly mistaken...in my humble opinion...Peace, Ed & Rufuz

Excellent write Reg, but i disagree people care, it's just finding the right ones that's the hard thing to do.
Thanks for sharing
Steve

I think there are days when everyone, or almost everyone has had a day that they have felt this way. I know that I have - then someone out of the blue does something that restores your thoughts in mankind. I much enjoyed this write. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Sanja xo

It's truly sad, when no one cares.

Many don't,but, then again a few does, and they are the one that counts when all the chips are down, you can bet your life in that pot, because a true someone at hand will lead you through.
Georg

A poem with a human face stouching you in the heart with soft the breeze carried off by the waves of a romantic ocean

...those who know no tears...must live in a house for dry eyes. Fortunately tears are the waters of mankinds soul...to keep the lotus flower within us alive...tears of sacredness.
your pen cares for you beautifully...
John

Regis,

I believe as writers...we feel more deeply than half the planet. Should an icy-cold heart tell you that you're too emotional, walk away...because they are not the sort who can understand you. This poem captures how society functions as a whole. We say we'll be friends but we never call. We say we care but when we're needed, we're mysteriously absent. If we can find one or two genuine friends throughout our lives...we are truly lucky. I would rather have one genuine friend my whole life than a phonebook full of "superficial" ones! You have moved each reader of this piece - so much so that they offer their own caring thoughts. A mark of true talent! Love and hugs:)
Sheila

intersting words-i suppose there is some truth here--

I can really relate to this, I've been a victim of superficial love. Interesting write, Great description of these emotions.

Pierre

Even in those dark times when one might believe that no one cares, there is always someone who truly does. While I do believe that we are responsible for securing our own destiny, I think that there are many who believe that they are incapable of doing so. Thought provoking offering, Regis.
Take care,
Sherry

This poem fills my heart with sadness. When someone thinks that no one cares - I just want to reach out, give them a hug, and let them know that I care. I was reminded of what my Mom would say as we were growing up - God gave us tears and laughter, and both are necessary.

God bless you. Kathy

You raise interesting concepts of what is acceptable in a sociey, yet given time all changes again. One who listens can hear and help the painful cries of another......



Be safe,

Karen

While there are some people out there who enjoy pain, for the most part, someone who is black and blue needs help. More than the average person can offer. ~ Sara

it is the self that condems itself and heals itself and nothing else...compassion and encouragement to this beautiful being

It is a hollow feeling to think that no one cares,, but when one writes of this,, it shows that "you" are one to fill a hole,,,
Reg,,, Enjoyed,, Love, Christine

Someone cares. A sad spirit has a folowing too.
Love the emotions here Reg.
Susan

Expressed well my friend...I care my friend as many others do as well. Your poetry is wonderful, touching and meaningful!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Perfectly expressed, and accented by the stirring picture.
This is an outstanding work, Regis. Touches the heart and arouses compassion and maybe even understanding.
And hey, we all care for YOU.

Connie

I care. Your poetry has enlightened and delighted me. And I don't want it to stop. Great write. Liz

Well, don't believe everything you hear. Plenty of people care.

Meanwhile, this is a touching, colorful piece with deeply moving imagery and sensations. Your word choices were visually and emotionally stimulating and the overall flow and tone were hypnotic and lulling to the mind. Nice work, Regis, awakening a pensive mood in the reader.

Regis,

Be reassured that there's always someone out there that cares. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

Wonderful write, Regis. And the pic is extremely moving. Gracious expression of how I think all of us feel sometimes, when the world seems to want to pass us by, no matter how hurt we may be. And yet, when we stop and dry the tears a moment, we usually see the folks who are standing there with compassion in their eyes...
May you know all the wonderous magic of life,
Jim

I think that we all know that feeling of no one caring. But they do. This is a very touching poem, Regis.

Your poem is rather poignant of our own lives as well.
It can be any one of us you talk about. I like the picture.
It kinda says how I have been feeling the past few months.
Hope you are doing well, Regis.
Becca (BB) Lang

Touching poem Regis..
Someone will care.
Ron

I understand this so very well, Regis. I find, for someone who I have always thought to be sunny in temperament (me, I'm talking about!), all I seem able to write is dark or humour - very seldom anything of real joy. Strange, that. But, hey ho... Better express reality in the beauty of blues and greys, rather than daub crimson kisses over everything... but, hang on a minute! I do both!?! But perhaps it just goes to show that I DO care... too much, probably. Like you. Your heart and my sleeve go well together, don't you think? Seems it's definitely where we wear them... Provocative and searing writing, Darlin. Tellin it like it is. Hope you're surviving your nordic big freeze up there... Love, Kate xx

People who are real, care. A thought provoking write Regis.

Too often this is true. I have written a piece about this myself.
Yet the blessing IS your true FRIENDS = DO CARE.

"Who Cares?" is a dark and hauntingly poetic piece. Wonderful!

Peace,
Dan

I believe that goes true for those who display only the drama each day. For real tears and real sorrow goes out to the human hearts. Good write. Very thought provoking. Lady J

A powerful piece Reg. I agree with Felix. Some folks give lip service to empathy, but when it comes down to who is really there when things go wrong, it's often a short list. Great poem my friend. Love and peace, Michelle

Dear Regis, it is a great poem but I do care for every human being including you. Sortez du trou ou vous vous trouvez a l'instant vous verrez plus de lumiere on va vers le printemps.
Love emile

I care, Regis, I care. Too much, it seems...beautiful, heartfelt pen.

(((UGHUGS))) and love, Karla.

People do care, though we may not see it or the right one's who do care. Emotional write.

Very good write, Regis; c'est magnifique!

(((HUGS))) et amour, ton ami dans Texas, Karen Lynn. :D

Paix a toi! :) (I think that's it! LOL)

I am asking the same question Regis!!

Thanks for sharing...at least we know who our friends are!!

Love TinkaSweets!!

Deeply moving write that touches on this side of depression with the pain of love that seems in doubt... people do care but often we approach the wrong ones for empathy.

fee

Actually, tho I'm not claiming to be the norm, tears draw me. A man whom I had nearly lost all affection for shed tears recently. It affected me greatly for, only then, did I know he had a heart after all.

I love this poem but it makes me wish weeping were allowed. It isn't welcome, sharing one's emotions, most of the time in most places. Wish your observations were not as vivid as they are.

Love,

Sandy

Beautifully imaged poem with beauty of words that belie the heartache of fact over fiction,and seeing things differently!
Very touching poem, Reg! Thanks for sharing!
