Description You managed to find
the wrongs in poetry
at 3 am.

You are the epitome
of fucked up and yet
I love you.

I stopped having these dreams
these dreams about fixing people.
Not so long ago I told a friend,
if that's what you are supposed
to call a person like him,
that I managed to appreciate
the people who trust me enough to
cry on my shoulder instead
of the shoulders that are left
when I need something to cry on.

I changed,
but not as much as
I wish I did.
I changed,
a lot more than
I ever wished to.

And these words,
they're stuck.
They're building up
inside my mind and
hitting each other
to reach my tongue,
or my fingertips.

I lost the skill
to express my thoughts
and I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I can't
be the artist
I promised myself I was.

Dear, I'm nobody's
version of fucking perfect.
I am the girl
whose eye is behind
the camera.
I am the girl
whose thoughts try
to write poetry.
I am the girl
whose fingers hold
the paintbrush.
And you're the muse,
you're everyone's muse.

I would tell you
the truth if I knew it,
but there's no such thing as truth.

I'm tired of wanting to
press forward to a time
in my life, where I am
whoever I want.
I am who I want to be,
but at the same time,
I wish I could be more like
anyone else.

And is this even sane?
I told my teacher that I'd
study psychology if I
wanted to help people.
But I don't,
I just find insanity
interesting





and I lose everything else.

wow, I'm in love with this piece - and your style.
I'm not great at critiquing anything, but it sounds as if you're venting, and maybe you were,but it needs to be a bit more structured and somehow the real message gets lost and is confusing,but all in all I do love emotion you bring out the anger,the sadness, the curiosity, is exactly why I carried on reading this. Good job! there I tried.


many times I would write something and be like 'ugh fuck it, it's not good enough for my watchers, I'm losing my skill [ currently what's happening to me]' but in the end, it's not about the other people it's about you, good writing or not so great writing, whatever, try not to label it as that, read even what you call your not so great writings as it were gold,it's the only to [me] to gain the confidence of a true writer.

Thanks, hun.
I guess it is some kind of venting, but a different kind. The kind of venting when what you are venting about has already passed and it's the remaining thoughts that you couldn't let out that bother you. That kind of venting.
I usually try to make it a bit more clear, but in this case I'm afraid I'm officially going through a writers block and this is all I could come up with, I do like it, but not as much as the rest of my gallery.

I appreciate the critique, it was helpful (:
Thank you very much for your support.
