love is good and love is blind...

[BabyGrace]

"shame"

reeling in the shame
of unworthiness,
my fears leave me no grasp
on myself
and no one to need me;

chasing in circles
further away from the heart of you;

I find purchase on
your body;
fingers white,
breathing heavy,
giving it away
to strangle the emotions
and break free from the cycle
I have no control over.

i love your poetry...

 

[Zoomerang96]

sometimes when i read your poetry, i dunno, i get the feeling that you dont think you measure up.

you do.

just in case you didnt fully realize that.

I'm guessing poets who write when they're down far outweigh the ones who write when happy.

you have a great talent Nikki

 

[BabyGrace]

thank you guys

Yeah fors, I kinda think that's true, probably because when people are down is mostly when they remember how important things like poetry and music can be. I wish it was the other way around

I think I remember some one saying here or I heard it some where that bono said some thing like that. Like it is easier to write things that are sad then to make some thing uplifting.
