NIGHTLIGHTS VS NIGHTMARES
With the dim glow
against these dark walls,
you’re looking around the room
for ways to solve the problems
you created.
This room is exactly
how everyone else sees you:
grey and vulnerable.
But who will find
the sins you won’t admit?
And what are you even thinking?
“Inject me deep into the silhouette,”
he says, “so that I may become
just an abandoned impression
of something valuable.”
I’m sorry to say
you’d fit right in.

I'll quote you, and maybe he'll understand.

my favorite part is the "But who will find the sins you won't admit?" some people can't accept responsibility, and live in denial, making not only their life worse, but everyone else's lives worse, too.

Or maybe choice.

Maybe if I just let him read it, he'd understand.
I don't know anymore.
You owe me a letter, sweetheart.

Make sure you send it to my new address, though.
Email me if you forgot it.
Or scroll back like twenty entries in my LJ.
Whichever works for you.

I'm a bit curious to know... Do you actually write so many poems each time, or do you just post what you've written over time all at once? O_o I only manage one or two poems a week.

i write a poem (almost) every day. if i can't think of anything to write for the day, i'll look back at all of the 100+ unfinished poems i have and work on them. and right now, the reason i'm behind is because i went through a weird spell about two weeks ago where i couldn't finish any poems. i had about 30 half-finished poems in that week. but yeah, i'm finishing those up now, and i should be back to actually posting every day by the middle/end of this week.

Wow. I seriously wish I had that much inspiration. How do you do it?? It doesn't take me long to write a poem, but I absolutely refuse to leave something unfinished. If I do, I'd probably never get back to it. :-\

anyway, i don't know how i do it. i just made myself. two years ago, i just told myself i was going to write every day. it wasn't too hard, because i was already writing every day, and i'd finish 3 poems in a week. i just wanted to see where it would take me, and see if i could actually pull it off. i mean, what if this lasted 5 years? 10 years? i've heard of a few well-known poets who've done the one-a-day thing, but it was only for about a year, as far as i know. maybe it's my 'thing' that'll push me into the spotlight, i don't know. for now, it's about forcing myself to come up with new ideas (or new perspectives), and getting better. and, it's about providing something that all of you can relate to. i wish i had something like this growing up, and i guess that's why i'm doing it now.
