Lol no drink for me either. I dunno why they do it. I just wish I'd had the courage to counter it with my own. Self-preservation is so vital. Thanks again my friend, love Jaq xx
Comment from Eliza M
Jaq, this really is a raw, honest and thought provoking piece of free verse. You take the reader on a roller-coaster of emotion and thoughts, asking questions to engage them personally along the way.
There are so many of this type of people in all walks of life unfortunately and believe me, I've met more than my fair share!
A powerful piece of social commentary. Lizx

Comment from Spike the second
Hi Jaq
What a super poem.
There are some buggers on here that do that. Tell you what a fantastic poem or story yet mark it down. Now if that isn't playing with you head I don't know what is.
I think there are sickos in life that think they are so much better than the average man or woman. But they are not, they only kid themselves. Some people get a kick with playing with your mind. I don't know if you ever sawan Audience with Billy Connelly. He tells the audience about a highland radio station that's closing messages are make sure all your doors are locked if you are on your own and not to worry that there are bad people around. Billy of course made fun of it. But could you imagine that, he echoes the thought why would you say that to play with the listeners mind? The devil says he would go quiet and wait a few minutes until someone went to switch off and then shout "leave that switch alone I've not finished" Frightening the poor bugger LOL. Everytime I see that TV program I am in tears.
Fantastic Jaq
Blessings
Spike

Comment from Gungalo
I'm struggling badly,
with the words you said.
I guess I'll never
understand.
Why people think it's alright,
to play games
with your head?
It's so true JC, they do it all the time too. It's almost as if you need a special course n how not to be bothered to deal with it.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Hi Jaq,
I don't think it is right at all. You penned this powerfully, and I have experienced this too...in time it balances but it hurts like hell at first.
Thanks for sharing an excellent work. Many moments to ponder for me.

Comment from 9999pool
I just review a poem called "Wolf in a Sheep's skin" and then your poem. Yes, everyone is out of their mind - even maybe including ourselves at our worst moments. Some people like to muse on people's problems, accentuating them if they can, to make themselves feel better about themselves. So, we must feel very sorry for these "Playing with your head.
It's beyond cruel and hateful (these people)". Good write, well expressed and versed too. Great work. Cheers.

Comment from paysme
Thanks for sharing aspects of the mind as you interpret them. It seemed to me that you started asking why... then stayed the consequence...the action, and then jumped to ask the reader questions. I would have liked to have you be more specific about what is really happening with you. What is going on in your head. Whom are you afraid of, or what do you fear? Please write more, as I think this is the basis of something greater. it has inspired me to possibly consider something in this area as well. Thanks.

Thank you for your helpful review. It was something that just jumped into my head there. I tend to post first and think later. :) Jaq x
Comment from Charmane
I really like this poem because it speaks the truth. It laments the evils of mankind and how we hurt and maim each other needlessly. I just pray about the ills that people shell out to us. Some people have hearts that are as solid as a rock.Still,others have feelings that growl and cut you.

Comment from adewpearl
I like the rhyming of the second and final lines of each stanza
Effective use of questions to engage the reader
You pose a most fascinating question in this commentary about the nature of human nature :-) Brooke
