What Good Am I?

from JoeUser Forums
I've completed this collection,
Now that it's completely without value,
Sitting in a box by the door,
Wondering where it should be delivered,
And to whom?

I'm sorry, that,
I am,
So sorry,
But I have no idea what else to be.

All this wisdom,
Adivce and insight,
I've collected,
Useless to you now.

I'm sure you wonder,
Why I had saved it all up in the first place,
I know I do.

I'm sorry, that,
I listened so well, that,
I never knew what to say.

In fact,
I still don't,
How wise can one claim to be,
If they never saw it coming.

We can point fingers,
In all directions,
I can wash my hands of you,
And of all that's been done,

How good am I, if,
What good am I,
What good am I to you?

Apparently you're the only one who comments anymore WLC, but really, I do always look forward to the ones I can count on.

"""""I'm sorry, that I am, So sorry,

Jesus....

how do you do it, Ted?  That's the most amazing line....I have no idea what else to be.  That's my life, in a nutshell.

""""How wise can one claim to be""""

that's a good question.  One can claim to be as wise as they like.  The problem is, keeping up the lie.  cough*DAN*cough

Thanks for the visit Tex, and PS - my homegirl LeapingLiz has spoken well of you on many occasions.

Ouch! Trin takes a stab at someone else on my blog...I'm so honored. Just make sure you clean up the blood afterwards...and by the sounds of this guy you probably should wear gloves.

I was pretty happy with that apology line, parallels a lot of other situations. When one can feel nothing else, seems they can always be apologetic. There may be a part two to this but the other part (which I suppose is the prequel) is actually a bit less subtle concerning who its about. (Not you WLC, but I bet you know who I'm talking about).

I do have my idea about who this is about--I did from the beginning.

Cheers, baby--I'd be interested in said prequel--but thats completely up to you.

he he he . . . I actually read a lot of your stuff and I totally dig it . . . I just don't know what to say ('cept "I liked this" ha ha ha).
