I Like to Write Stuff

Another user inspired this when he mentioned some of my 'word tapestry tirades'. The things that really matter can be lost easily in fits of passion. I think the title is kind of silly, but it is what it is.

I'd Better.

There are better things to do,
than shake my fist and stomp my feet,
There are better things to say,
than words intended to defeat.
There are better things to write,
than tomes and musings born of spite.

There is a better place to be,
than here in bitter vanity,
and there are better things to see,
than the worst inside both you and me.
There's better things I can believe,
and better word webs I can weave.

I know there is a better way,
and better music I can play;
to accompany a better day.
Than all these dreary shades of gray
I must soon be underway
I'd better go since I can't stay.

I love the humbleness conveyed here. If only more could let go of the ego that's holding them back. It's a soul killer.

I do wonder if you imagined yourself being so tested, as you have in current days vs when written two years ago.🤨

@MoonlightLullaby Thank you so much for commenting. I have some political poems. but I rarely write when I'm angry, but my guitar arrived so I might be getting back to it.

@puck61 See? Even the structure of my response is lacking......but we're just talking so I won't sweat it.

@puck61 Ah, give yourself more credit. Your structure is just fine. You're skilled, so believe it! I can understand why you wouldn't write it when mad if you tried to be bipartisan..that's hard.

I have written one political poem, but only put it in my about me, to continuously receive hate mail over Q bs...🙄😅..I even lost a friend, they're so...it actually called out the evil right, so I don't get why.
