Alone...?!

Alone I sit.
The middle child,
often left unseen .
Required by my own belief,
to sit and feel a senseless grief.
Atone a sin that wasn’t mine .
Hogswash,
Codswollop,
Disbelief!
There is no sin,
there is no grief .
This middle childs fine ...

I love my spot on the family tree,
I see all,
yet they don’t see me ..
Alone or independent?
Which ever way you say it,
I  love my freedom, liberty.
Self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

I know I cope,
just bring it on.
The middle child is seldom wrong.

When you’ve spent a lifetime learning views,
opposing thoughts whilst catching clues.
You tend to be a creative muse,
and find the best place for your cues
The middle child has a gift,
which often goes forgotten .
We see both sides,
we know the balance,
and...
we’re not spoiled rotten ..

Being a middle child myself, I can relate............  I really liked this one...

There must be so many things that never make it into books or journals that are worth reading. I like this too.

Awww shux  !! Thank you .. it felt good to write something that wasn't all  soppy and tears like my angst filled teenage poems , it's even better if you enjoyed them

I’m impressed.

Maybe you should think about writing a complete collection. There are a lot of “poets” out there that don’t deserve the paper their poems are wasting. But I believe you have a talent, something you should pursue!

Thanx Kis, I enjoyed your Poem very much and I am looking forward to seeing more of you work .
As I read this I could feel the emotions coming out and that is what I think makes a piece of art special. Whether it be written works, music, or visual, the audience should come away feeling affected by it. And I think you acheived that here.
Thanx again Sweetheart
