    Help me find the poem

    I heard a poem quoted in a "forum seminar" 15 years ago and could not find it again. One of the lines[as I recall] was:I was born in [some town]and they told me I was a boy. I goes on telling the subject what "they say" about his life and ends with "and now they tell me I am old"
    Anyone remember this one??????????
    Thanks, Hankyfrank

    Sorry, hankyfrank. I've never heard of it. I googled a few of the phrases you included and got nothing.

    Are you sure it wasn't a personal poem?

    Never make someone important in your life when you are not important in thiers.

    You don't make someone inportand in you life because you are not important in his/hers. Someone does not make you important in your life because he/she is not important in yours.

    A good definition of indifference. But someone has to start. No?

    Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I was referring to not unnecessarily caring on or suffering over a clearly failed relationship. Feel free to rewrite it as you wish. Regards, Hankyfrank

    well there are any number of ways to make a person important in your life and suffer unbearable pain, knowing you're not important in theirs. Loving from a distance is one of them. But as you've redefined what you've originally written, if you can move on, then do so.

    Two more question marks. You need two more. It will yield very fruitful results.
