Tired Emotions

Tue Jan 3, 2006, 2:20 AM
Okay, so for the past three days I've been writing a lot of bad poetry. But I've been thinking a lot of bad things. And the only way to get rid of them, it seems, is to articulate them in to very ugly words. That are hardly articulated. But I'm afraid of those words--specifically, afraid that people will read them. But. . . I figure I should put them out there, hopefull deal with these things bouncing around in my head--hopefully heal a little.

But, I can say that I am pleased by the fact that I am so aware of my deteriorating condition. Makes it much easier to try to fix it. Also, it makes it much more difficult--especially since I am completely alone right now. Utterly and vastly alone. But, since I'm able to write bad poetry, that must mean that I'm feeling the pain, allowing it to work its way into and out of my body. I hope.

I don't think it's bad poetry. about things that most normal people don't think about,maybe. but definently not bad.:)

Thank you. I know that the ideas aren't bad. And the words I chose aren't necessarilly bad, but . . . sometimes I feel like the way I attempt to say what I want is done badly. LIke I'm just kind of . . . talk with rude pauses at bad places. But. I like it all. So thank you, your approval means a lot to me.

I feel the same way about most of my poetry, then I reflect and realize that you can't make a bad decision about your own poetry. it is the expression of the soul ( most of the time) therefore, it cannot be controlled.the rude pauses add to the overall affect of your poetry which I very much like. but thank you very much for giving me great poetry to read. it stimulates my brain into eventually creating something new.

I have noticed you seem to be creating more recently--maybe not. I've not been watching long.

I agree with you, though. That's why I post my stuff--if I really believed deep down that I was dragging my stuff too far down with my over-rationalizing, or with what I've been told is that my poetry is a blast of consciousness (but anyway), I wouldn't let people read it, I'd still throw it away.

Thank you. Again.

I always seem to find inspiration in the oddest of places, though I always write things. On top of all the poetry I've been writing, I've also been writing songs and coming up with great guitar riffs for the songs I've been writing.( at least I think they're great and my roomate agrees.)

Greatness is in the eye of the beholder.

And I'm not sure if I actually find inspiration anywhere; not really. I just write about what's going on in my head, sometimes I'll say something particularly cool, but usually the process is started and (when all goes well) finished without my input.
