PEARL SMOKE
I’m just crying
Cry crying & crying
I can’t write nothing
I’m broken down
I’m crying
Crying because I don’t know what els to do

PEARL SMOKE
I’ve been holding strong.
Fighting all the triggers.
Coping with holding
back the urges.
I’m proud of myself.
For being able to move forward.
I’m finally on the
road of recovery.
Putting in all my Effort to over come this .
It’s All good Now ,
I’m glad I don’t have to walk around with all that weight of being careful & looking out.
All the Weight of What
addiction brings .
Finally, A new beginning.
First thing off My Life list
Is Everything that involves drugs.
I no longer want to be in conversations , settings , reminders etc That involve Substances.

Get over your badd self
If you think this means you
It surely does
I wish for the day
It is customary
For females to go *******
In the beach
Or wherever a man would go *******
And I could do that
I think
I don't think I'd get arrested for going ******* at a Cape Cod beach
But I don't know that
For sure
If I can go *******
I probably should
But I doubt I will
Even though I got great ****
I would love to go *******
Without people hiding their childrens' eyes
And I should feel comfortable doing that
Anything can
look like a poem
and sound philosophical
simply by moving
the words on
different lines.

Am I doing it right?
Is this
really
talent?
Art?
Effort?

I think I am trying.
Really, I am
I go back and change the order
and I break lines
where it sounds right
But it does not take me long.
Not at all.

I try to be
intentional
and call it natural rhythm.
Instinct and style taking over
I alternate between
agonizing every detail
like When to Capitalize
and publishing free form poems without looking over them twice.

How is writing supposed to feel?
Should I labor?
or should it flow?
Or do I get to decide?

I think the things I talk of
mean something
at least.

But am I just
pretentious?

fooling myself into thinking that
using common poetry formats
somehow makes my work worthwhile?
Problems only We True Artists face.
Calling someone a "sheeple"
Only proves you're a hypocrite
Concrete Poet took offense to one of my comments, and said "*******, you ******* sheeple". And then, of course, apparently blocked me, so I couldn't respond.

a mcvicar
i'm ranting and squealing
the autopilot won't work
i hate all my words
20.5.18  /  i've ranted about this before. i'm sorry, i know it's unnecesary but i have to let it out.

so, i'm wiritng a book. it's a small one, 30 pages of my own poetry, and i've scraped it all again. i set myself a deadline, 11 days from now and i have nothing. i'm blank, again, and i hate everything i've written so far. i really don't want my brain's autopilot to write this book for me but i have to write something. it's meant to be a gift but... who knows? maybe the talent that everyone tells me i have is just water droplets on paper. i just spit out sometimes and people seem to like it... but what if people tell me  i'm good for the sake of a compliment but not in a critical way. 'cause you can't really say to someone, to their face, "hey, all your feelings on this piece of paper are written like ****. try again". *** am i supposed to do...


UPDATE: i have amazing friends and they've re-motivated me. dear god i love the werid bunch of people that have my back. thank you.
