concept

i don't understand me or my life at all.
i don't understand why i listen to sad music,
when i'm not really sad about anything.
i don't understand why i think so much about things,
when there really isn't anything wrong.
i don't understand why i am distant and quiet,
when i should be so happy.
i don't understand why i feel unloved,
when i have someone who cares.
i don't understand why i lay awake at night,
when i have someone warm next to me.
i don't understand why i write these poems,
these long, drawn out poems about my feelings,
about my life, my lack of emotion,
my abundance of emotion, my thoughts,
and expect everything to be better,
when i have someone to make it better.
i don't understand why i write these,
when i know i'm making no sense.
i just don't understand.

I do quite adore your poetry darling, I'm not sure why, maybe because I constantly find a connection within my life or something along the lines of that stuff. [insert expressive words here] So anyway. Well done once again. Take care, have a good holiday :hug:

It's very good that you use writing as a catharsis (:)), but wouldn't this be more appropriate as a journal entry?
:iconlosttotheskies:
yeah, prolly, but it's a thought i have often.

It still would be better to have it as an entry ... you can't just state your feelings straight out (that's more " proselike" ... not the quotemarks, I am not using the term literally) and call it poetry. The real fun and help of poetry is to mutilate it, turn it around, find new ways to express it that we would have never tried otherwise. That's also when it becomes art. Everyone needs personal venting, but if you don't really have a message (or if you're not trying to say it), journal entries are a great alternate option.

I'm sorry if I sounded rude, long winded, insulting, holier-than-thou or anything else negative, that was not my intention at all. :heart: But ... things like this are to me what school notebook sketches or webcam photos, etc., are to many people on dA. They are more than fine in themselves ... but how appropriate are they for where they are placed?
