HOW HOLLOW THE THREADS SEEM TO SEW THEMSELVES

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

at a loss for true reason
I trip to see clear
am I the hypocrite
self made to feel
important
that another claims
I appear
I am baffled
that the real me
fails to ring true
I am labeled
fraud
at the least
I am believed
to be
horribly insincere
startled by such
venom
coming from someone
I've honestly admired
for the better part
of a year
I stand shoulders bent
amazed
how quickly I was slapped
in the back
to the rear
it is what it is
all I can do is pray
that a higher wisdom
will one day whisper
the purest truth
in her ear
and from the fog of this
shocking hatred
a mutual respect
will again appear
until then
I wish you all the best
as I always have.....................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a misunderstanding with a fellow post poems poet. I'm still speechless. I've been upbraided and I still am shell shocked. Makes me think of an old saying I stick my neck out only to in the end cut it off myself as that is less painful than allowing another to do it. All will be well though as once this life is past the injured party in this will be able to see into my heart and know I had no malice for her. She perceived me wrong and I apparently don't have the tools to right this confusing situation. I wish her no ill. I still think she's a fine human being and wish her all the best. That will never change..............
