unknown

July 2, 2014
By Anonymous

I stare blankly at a wall...
Wondering if it can sense my presence.
Sam was here, is what I should have written on it.
The wall knew someone was watching it, he appreciated the company.
But sometimes things are better left unsaid... or may I say unknown.

The reader isn't just reading about a wall, I hope they understand what this piece means. Like when you do a good deed for someone, sometimes it's an even better deed if you get no credit. Like you want to do something nice for someone with out anything in return, so you remain anonymous. That is why only on this piece I want to be anonymous just to make a point.

I love the comment that you said, it is true sometimes people think that in order for what you did to be a good deed you have to be repaid or acknowlenged for what you did.
