Poems are freedom...
Poetry is our liberation ill friends! Read it, consume it, read it aloud, not quietly, learn from it. Write it, share your experience. You have an interesting complex situation worthy of a poem. You should express yourself. You may not be able to draw a Picasso or write a novel, but you can write a poem because even if it is "No good" aesthetically" to some people if it has meaning to you, it is art. IT MATTERS. If a poem moves one person, even if that person is only the author him or herself, it is art and it deserves to be written. Go forth my friends and enjoy!

Re: Poems are freedom...
I posted this poem on another thread but I love it so much I feel compelled to post it again 😛
“I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
― Charlotte Eriksson

Re: Poems are freedom...
What an explosion of words! Absolutely lovely, that is exactly what I wished to see, a
celebration of the power of words. Thank you for showing me the kindness of adding this as the first response to my post. YOUR AWESOME @greenpea

Re: Poems are freedom...
@Former-Member Dear Paleofirst I do hope you are right. I have suffered a long time. I am not a perfect human being but I am a human being. The lesson in all of this is to never blindly follow the poison that others say is the truth. Always question never blindly follow.
