I Write

I don’t pretend to be more than I am

I never studied the craft

and I don’t buy poetry books

I don't think I'm a poet

and these aren’t poems, really

These are just random,

silly,

mostly incoherent musings—

simple ramblings

and outbursts of feelings

Things from inside my wicked self

My heads

(yes, there are two)

and this heart

speak like this

I’m no poet,

but I write.

Conflicts V

I thought for a while I could love him

but now I realize I just want to sleep with him

I could care more for his dick

than I ever could his heart

knowing now the things I know about him and all

And I know I should be ashamed to feel this

to reveal this, even

but I'm not
There's no hint of shame whatsoever
Though that’ll change after I let him inside me, I'm sure.

Hiatus

I haven't written much lately because I haven't been inspired to.  I've been on a hiatus of sorts from here again.  It's a good thing, though. I mean, in some ways it's a good thing. I usually write when I'm sad and heartbroken.  I'm neither of those things, thankfully, so there hasn't been much to write about.  There's also a great big cloud of laziness hanging over me so that's partially to blame. Anyway, it's September. I usually get the ball rolling again in September.  So, that's the goal. I'll do my very best to write stuff here because there are dreams to achieve and this is the best way to practice.  I'll be around more often.
