Poetry / Stupid Poem
I can’t stand writing;
To sit and listen to my own thoughts,
while instrumental music plays in the background;
I now see why most writers become alcoholics.
Why would anyone want to spend so much time with themselves?
Maybe others write to be different,
to say that their not just another face.
Maybe they write to tell the world how meaningless everything is,
or to talk about some romanticized ray of light,
or to say that they have purpose,
and write because everyone should know their genius.
Maybe they just need an escape from reality.
All I know is that sometimes I get depressed
and writing helps fills that hole for a little while.
So I force myself to sit and think of something to say.

very good. i love how you started it. in “and writing helps fills that hole for a little while.” i think that it should be “and writing helps to fill…” very good!!! i love it.
My sentiments exactly. You just wrote how most poets feel.
“To sit and listen to my own thoughts.” Wouldn’t you be recording your own thoughts instead of listening to them. Does this work better you think?
“to say that their not just another strange face.” I would take out the word strange. Just another face would be adequate.
You might add something like this to make the poem more meaningful.
“and write because everyone should know their genius” This looks awkward. Writers write because they have too. The are compelled to record their thoughts.
The poem is a little contradictory. You can’t stand writing but you do so to keep you from being depressed. This is very nice but it looks like something that should go under the genre of blogging or journal writing. It looks like a stream of conscience work. Nothing wrong with that. I enjoy raw, pure writing. My suggestions are above. Good Luck. Sandi
