Writers Appreciation

Have you ever given somebody a poem or song you had written especially for them? It doesn't matter who is was for; a parent, a friend, or a boyfriend or girlfriend. Anyways, you always hope that their reaction will be good and great. But what happens when they are less than excited and appreciative than you would care for? You feel like utter crap because they don't like it or it isn't their type of "style" or "sound" they enjoy the most. 
Well, to that I say Eff them! If somebody writes a poem or song, or ANYTHING crafted by their own imagination and two hands (or one hand, you never knows)you should be God damn grateful and accept the gift happily! Not say "Oh, it's too mushy for me." Or some other crap like that. Honest to say, it hurts when people do that. Or when they even try to modify it to their liking. 

Seriously? Is this not good enough for you? Does it not fit your standards? It feels like a hard slap in the face from my perspective. You pour out your heart and soul into this piece of work and in return you get shrug or an insult. Or better yet, they don't even care to acknowledge it what-so-ever.

I'm sure it hurts a hell of a lot more when they don't even care as to much look at the writing you have produced for them. It makes you're heart break and makes you feel worthless and upset. It really makes me question if this person cares enough about what I do for them. 

I often ponder what would happen if people were to stop writing these expressions of emotions to those they hold close to them. Would they even care to notice or ask why they haven't wrote any for them/to them?
This actually has happened before and I say I'm usually not in the mood to write, which sometimes is true; I don't just pull ideas and random things from my arse and call it a poem/story/song. I sit down and think and write out what I want to say in my writings. Anyhow, I have also inquired at some points that I am writing a new piece of poetry/stories/or a song and people will ask if it's about them and if so in what way will they be portrayed in? If it's bad what did they do now? And it goes on and downwards from then on.


It's honestly very annoying and rude and especially very hurtful to me or to anybody else who has experienced this before. You don't want to be angry and yell at them because they'll be a fight, but you also don't want to be ignored of your sweet gesture. 


Who knew being gifted with a writer's quill could end up with you only being disappointed and hurt by someone you hold very near and dear to you're heart.
