I hate writing about feelings Or abstracts rather Give me concrete Give me senses and vision Metaphoricals, actions Comparatives speak louder Instead of mewling about love Or dreaming or fear My preference is nausea Aching, touching Colors, textures, responses Words that put pain to the thing Not the thing itself The impression of the thing The breathing The bleeding Not the creature Not merely saying it is alive For you aren't obliged To believe me If I don't believe it myself
