#aboutpoetry
It was suggested that
I write poetry.
It flows out of me
in spits and spasms.
It is not an elegant
cascade of the senses.
It is as if I am
slowly rebuilding a dam.
It is as if I want
to build a wall so high
it surrounds me entirely,
it swallows me whole.
I suppose that is why
it was suggested that
I wrote poetry.

*Do you even like my poetry?
Does it sound good to you?
What about it sounds good to you?*
An inside glimpse into my head...
*Does it even make sense?
This inside glimpse?*
Stop trying to answer questions with questions.
*Why do you like reading it?
What else?
Why am I doing this?*
So I can show people how I feel...
So I can express things...
In a way you can understand...?
But tell me why you want to hear
What I have to say/wtite...
I know that I'm being ridiculous.
*Are you actually interested in what I'm thinking?
Are you, though?*
