Death of a Rose
|
I am giving myself over unto something I've never really believed in before. I mean I have to or there won't be a me (selfish as that may seam) anymore. I'll still have my identity but my old way of living is not conducive to being alive. Something better I hope is across that threshold, a better release on anguish and pain. A mental acceptance that whatever happens, well, happens and I'll be able to deal with it on a completely different level. Seems like I've searched for reinforcement in my prior beliefs and patterns, to make it acceptable to do these ruinuous things to others and mainly to myself. Fight all the prior thinking patterns, reevaluate where I am now, where I wish to be. Hmmm....quite the ramble. Take care oE, Nonme, Daxle, ED, Smallrus, My blather wife and many others. Enjoy your life, be thankful you weren't born to be sold into slavery like approximately 27 million others. Be thankful you are still able to breath, walk, see, hear, taste each day. From the depths of my depression I have to erase the chalkboard and start anew, if I should retain any sanity left to me. So again, take care. I will think of you often and the smiles you brought me. Thank you for the interaction.

doar was absolutely right in what he said about loving life and being thankful i_know i_think it's the way to think i don't know why i come here to write and i end up sounding pathetically ungrateful for my life it is beautiful to live to be free from so much i love it all i truly do it's just difficult sometimes to see a world going crazy and not be crazy myself

yeah notme i used to think the same way..sometimes still do..to love everything..seems like a part of you has to die in order for you to deal..'cause sometimes it's just too much..the love the sadness..the empathy..the beauty of it all..i mean you want to be this gentle..humble person..carrying the worlds ache within..trying to keep your baser instincts at bay and keep from being stomped down by the malice ridden and surface shimmering people..i get that..we NEED to keep telling ourselves to one another..projecting the substance of what we are upon the other's imagination..if they felt your heart it would overwhelm them..the Other..we will make one another whole..i mean as a species..i think doars' going to be OK..though..keep sharing and aching out of your open heart out loud..nomme, you have one of the more honest voices here..and i weep sometimes at it's fullness, it's honesty, it's sadness..your words make a mark in me.. ...

oh the cups of my eyes are full of the bounty of your words.. pulls me from my purgatorial pall.. and though i walk strong in the midst of the throng.. not letting the exhaustion of all my endings, bleed into my eyes.. and turn the torch fires down.. sometimes mon when i encounter your words it is like touching hands with any honor guard of glory.. similiar to the way pd's words affect me.. but different.. the pain of your words falling like firepetals upon the spittle.. choked flames suddenly flaring to life. thankyou.. i can still be touched by these things.. little things it seems... sometimes it's like hurtling through twilight into welcoming shards of impaling panes housing the dead body of my family i awake to that and then to encounter your honest, true words... dreampangs taking shape into this vine of stony thorns undulating in me all day..

you wrote for yourself before continue to do so now if something as small as what faces you now can cause you to doubt your ability, and freedom to put to words that which you believe to be yourself, then how can you justify your right to that action in the first place. freedom is intrinsic and I see nothing more than a very critical onlooker you my dear, need change nothing

i cannot write i cant seem to capture emotions, to be able to do anything ppl criticising my work really pisses me off, even if it's constructive, mostly because i'd like to think that it doesn't need it lol. i never said i wasnt egotistical! i wish that for once, someone would read what i write and like it, whether it be on blather or in real life. i dont expect it, but i feel sad when people dont *feel* what i write. maybe im being stupid, seeking attention. i dont want to be the annoying brat whom everybody hates.

InCaNdeScAnT_GoTh_GiRl - do you have a favorite writer? or a several favorite writers..maybe you could analyze what it is about their writing that touches you and then try and incorporate that into your prose...i think constructive criticism okay..but yeah i have to admit i am vry sensitive about people appraisels of my writing..it's normal..i've read some of your stuff..it's not bad..we're all getting better every day we write and expose ourselves to new ideas..and the beautiful words of master...image image image..conure the image in your mind..and try just looking at everything from a metaphorical standpoint for a while...i try and do that and it helps me be more visceral and less egg headed and well forget about egg headed..it helps me to be more coherent... no buddhist aphorisms from me on this one... ...

we may be free to write but we are never completely free to write, clasped close by the author, the mind, and the past. our writing is not free, but we are free to write, our reading is not free, nor are our minds, but we, in our writing, are free to speak of the chains that hold us, if only we could read them without that story ever having to have been written.
