Realism

Some people write to get things out
This is rare
Because
Some perfectionists do this then go over it to make it pretty
Pay attention now cause this is all true
Because
Some people write to win the frontpage review
I don't know about you
But when I do my REAL poetry
I type and never look back
I've made too little of these...
Poetry is beautiful
Some people are gifted
So the feelings come out well
Some are just lonely though
They just want anything to pay attention to them
Truth hurts
Thats why alot of people decide to block it out
Or in other cases people will decide to retaliate
But everyone knows deep down
Down
That most poets can write
But the true poet can feel
And the true artist can analyze
But the true worksman will criticize
And now that you're annoyed now like I would be...
Please don't get me wrong
I continue the same way
Using little bits of everything above
To create my own style of Poetry
Like everyone has done to make them original
Is writing and poetry two different things
Yes, at least I think so
I must make my conscience clear
I must tell what I thought of while I showered
Because thats where my real thinking begins
Not on paper, nor on the computer's notepad
Love this site, for it is one in original
But goal it not, for life is to beautiful to miss
