I don't

Contributed by aplsdka on Monday, 30th June 2008 @ 03:13:47 AM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems

I don't have enough opinions to write a poem

or a story
or a letter that doesn't start with 'thanks' and end with 'I can't wait to use it'

I don't have the capacity to tell the world what to do

or the ability to sit by and watch while they ignore me anyway

I don't have the originality to catch your attention

and I wouldn't know what to do once I had it.

I'm immature
I'm apathetic
I'm bored
And I'm useless
I could lead you around for days with words that make no sense

but in the end you'll be right where you started
and I
I'll be smiling a melacholic smile of tears and hope-

-lessness to watch you go
when I know that
after all
It didn't do much to me to have you there

I don't have the confidence to demand your attention

or the skill to keep it with me as I go
and words that no one hears
are as good as the things you should have seen
but didn't
as life rushed by too quickly for anything to take focus
except for everything you didn't want to see

I don't think you'll want to read this

not with the hundreds of other things
you ought to be doing
you ought to be saying
you ought to be pulling out of your ass
a facade of
opinions
capacity
originality
confidence
a shelter of self you carry around
as if it mattered

But maybe you should

sometimes i dont have enuff openons to write a story or a peom. sometimes the room in my head is crowdd with everything else that makes the world go rond. i like to think of a poem or story when i have that time that i don't usually get to myself. i think of them in the shower or the bathroom or when i eat or when i watch tv or when i am asleeping but i hav to write becuase i was born to be a poet or a led singer of my rock band or a filosoffer or a jurnalest or somthing because i write all the time it is like an addiction it was like that when i was in high school and now in my 40s i am reexploring the deepths of it. keep trying in your free time. i will be watching for it. when it comes i will let you know.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
