I Like To Write Poetry

[i] CREEPING IVY[/i]

My mind is not a roller coaster,
nor is it a waterfall.
My mind is not an
erratic swarm of bees
that flit by in an instant
with a harsh din
and an itching,
burning sensation when they land...
IF they land.

My thoughts are not
a field of early spring flowers -
chaotic at first
but destined to blossom
into some spectacular sight;
no that would be too beautiful for me.
And my thoughts are not
an untrodden field
of virgin snow,
with their soon-to-be origins
easily discernable...

My mind is the Earth,
and my thoughts an asteroid -
misshapen and lonesome,
and fatefully hurling itself
in a bold and deadly fashion
towards that doomed rock...

May God have mercy.

Absolutely. I was feeling very crappy a couple of nights ago, my thoughts were muddied, and nothing would make me feel better... until I wrote down how I was feeling. Everything became clearer and my mind quieted down. It really is an amazing thing...

It's true Timothy. I'm a poet as well. I felt this poem in my heart. I think if people would truly feel their feelings and be okay with them and know they're just feelings maybe they wouldn't feel so bad sometimes

It's how I feel, as accurately as I can portray it. I don't write enough frustrating poetry, so it was good to get this out.

Writing works for me to. It's kind of a pain because unless I write it out it messes with me big time. :)

Wow... Is that how you feel? Or is that hard thinking? :)
