No longer needed*

No longer needed*

There was a time so long ago

A talent was hidden I did not know

Writing it was as it came to form

Words of wisdom to the Soul* so warm

As I moved along words became more clear

Transparency my aim, I felt it so near

Quotes from inside so deep

Sowing seeds within, a harvest to reap

So I ventured outward in social media to be on

This platform to my authorship has begun

Writing was getting easier and fluidity did the trick

Rhythm I was hearing,  love of this began to stick

So I went to a site intent was its name

My life was moving postively, nothing the same

I stayed on that platform, a few years went by

But another platform came and I needed to try

It all began with an invitation in August 2009

I started right away and knew this would be fine

I posted a few lines then a poem or two

This was my platform to be as I tried something new

A few years went by and people liked what I did

My words revealed my truth and nothing was hid

I was getting better and three blogs I did create

The best talent was my poetry skill, this was my fate

I did run into some people that did resist

I had to block them and now no longer exist

The more I was into this platform, the more it seemed no gain

For some reason or another, energy was starting to drain

I was doing my best to keep up and stay afloat

I was no longer calm, as this place rocked the boat

This was suppose to be fun and write what was on your mind

But creepy stuff began to happen, this I was to find

I pressed on but awhile I said "a little more"

I knew this was coming to expire, what am I here for?

This place I grew fond of over the years

Was no longer an inspiration, why am I here?

Yes, I finally convinced myself I will take this back on the road

And move my literature to another home, another abode

So it was nice to hear from all with comments and likes

And to show everyone my words of wisdom and photos from my hikes

It seems this platform no longer I can trust

Bombardment of same old same, political agenda made it bust

Now I will find somewhere else to finally be

Another place to write that makes me happy

I now know in letting go and to detach

This platform fading away, no longer my catch

I have learned a lot from being here all the time

I got it out of my system, this attachment in my mind

To all the ones that I have to let go

Maybe another time and a different show

It was fun everyday to be here to post once again

But now I say goodbye to Facebook and all my friends
