~~EXIT~~ I think this is it for a while...?

Question

EXIT

This is the last of many for now--
A finale reluctantly offered?
The trophy collects dust in a dark corner,
And I try to leave that by which I've suffered.

The world out there may have missed me
These long months aloof from reality.
Time doesn't stand still for a writer
Who cares far too much for vanity.

A supernova? No. A regretful goodbye;
A thank-you, to those who have been kind.
But I'm trying to run from the lies and fear
That have stabbed my heart and burdened my mind.

It is not enough to be called great--
I think one must believe, or find it out to be truth.
Flattery's gift is little more than an empty high,
To crash from, as expected, and earn one more bruise.

But I think I'll come by once in a while,
To hail old aquaintances, and post what I've scrawled;
To find if I'm remembered, forgotten, or missed.
But here I make my exit, and goodbye to all!


I'll miss you. Maybe I'll be back soon...but it's time for me to use my time more wisely.

I'm okay, but I need a break from Y/A!

Answer 1

I found this thing we call Y A,
With writings good and bad,
When those whoes work we love then leave,
It makes me feel quite sad.

It's like a newfound love is gone,
The joy just walks away.
It helps a bit to just be told,
You might be back some day.

The world just seems to be so bright,
When with me here, you are.
I'll envy anywhere you go,
And miss your avatar.

But go you must to better things,
Your soul and mind to grow.
Fill your head with something new,
And let great writings flow.

I hope some day before I'm gone,
To see your avatar.
Upon the cover of a book,
That's hailed both near and far.

Until that day remember this,
You have here part of me.
It's written just to let you know,
You will be missed, you see.

So take this little thing I write,
And read it when you will.
It has a small piece of my heart,
That only you can fill.

I hope you enjoy this one, it may be not so good, I wrote it right here online, and the YA spell checker isn't working for me. I will miss you. You were one of the first to connect with me after I got on YA, and at the time wasn't even sure what connecting and contacts was all about. Thank you so much for your kind comments on my work, but thank you even more for sharing a part of yourself for me to read and enjoy. Goodbye for a while little darlin, I will miss you in many ways. Huggles n Squeezles forever.

I am a man, I will not cry.


Those aren't tears, my eyes are just leaking.

Answer 2

You will be sorely missed, I often look forward to your next poem but I guess I'll have to wait a little longer this time.

Answer 3

I'll miss you too. I really like what you do. I hope someday someone will write a poem for me like Dondi did for you. It's so special, just like you. I couldn't say it better, so I'll stop now. Bye for now.

Answer 4

I fully understand. I may follow you.

All my best,

Todd

Answer 5
