Valid Poem by Jessica Dehn

I wrote Valid after a time in my life when my thought and feelings were being overlooked and being told they were unimportant ect ect nasty stuff that is. I simply wanted to express that each person has a feeling or thought about different things and should not be ignored or under valued by other. As for them being 'my right' meaning that we should allow others to think, feel, and believe as they would never should that be taken from a person.

Valid? maybe. i looked up a definition and this is what i found: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - val·id 'valid/ adjective adjective: valid (of an argument or point) having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent. a valid criticism synonyms: well founded, sound, reasonable, rational, logical, justifiable, defensible, viable, bona fide; cogent, effective, powerful, potent, convincing, credible, forceful, strong, solid, weighty a valid criticism - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i'd have to agree that you and you feelings and thoughts could be considered based in fact, in that, at least to you, they are 'true'. and yours could be considered 'bona fide', for which i have copied a definition, as follows: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - bo·na fide 'bon? ?fid, 'bän?/ adjective adjective: bona fide; adjective: bonafide 1. genuine; real. only bona fide members of the company are allowed to use the logo synonyms: authentic, genuine, real, true, actual; legal, legitimate, lawful, valid, proper; informallegit, the real McCoy the table is definitely an imitation Chippendale, but the chairs are bona fide - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - but a lot of synonyms for valid would not necessarily fit, i think. at least not all the time. i say that without knowing you. BEFORE I FORGET, i will say that i LIKE this poem. it rolls along smoothly, and is very persuasive-sounding at least. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i do take exception to you saying They are my right! i'm not sure what that means. well, if you are just talking about thoughts and feelings, maybe they ARE, but i wouldn't want that feeling to be extended to your actions. i guess i read everything is valid! in the poem's second line and got concerned that you might have been exceeding your right(s) . maybe IM overthinking and 'making a mess'? thanks for sharing. :) bri
