I Lack A Feeling Comments

Hi WSS, your title describes perfectly what your poem is about. Feeling! it is something we all start with, but as time goes on and we are hurt, sometimes in a shocking devastating way, as in losing someone, our emotions deaden, we don; t feel pain but, we don't feel anything else either. I am involved in young people and extreme sports, and I notice the ones that often succeed, do so due to bad childhood, trauma etc! They don't care about themselves, so they are able to take more risk, in order to reach the top. My son lost his dad and he became involved in these sports, he was only 8 at the time, and it pained me to see him hurting himself, in this acceptable way. Now he is a little sk8ing star and has started to recover his feelings, thank the lord. A great thought provoking poem. 10 from Tai
