*Stop*
October 6, 2010
Yeah, I was just fine until just now.
The words I hear keep bringin me down.
See, first I’m fine
and then they hit.
Then I can get rid of it.
They come back, once again
those stinkin’ words
and more word friends.
Beat my brain into a pulp,
show a reason to give up.
No matter who tries to save me,
I always go back down again.
Drowning, drowning in my own thoughts.
And I’m so sick of it.
Why
Can’t
It
Just
…
…
Stop?

No, I actually haven't read it all, but I already see that it's not all sad. It just hit me as I was reading a few of them that they seemed a little depressing.
And you're a really good writer!! Some of your stuff is so full of metaphor and imagery and it's really good! Keep writing!

Thanks, I think it's always a good idea to write while you're still feeling the emotion you write about, it works better and makes a better peice.

you seem really into the poem and I can imagine you writing this. It seems like you were really fustrated while writing this but i like it because it adds emotion to it!!

Okay, I agree that a lot of my writing is sad, maybe I am a depressed person. Don't take this as a repremand, but have you read all my work? I'm pretty sure not all of it is sad. Just most of it.

I hope you don't take this as an insult, because I just mean it as an observation, but you always seem sad in your writing. You are good though.
