Writing

Writing gets me through
the darkest days
so that they are bearable.

When I feel like I’m lost
it may not make all the problems go away.

But it makes it less lonely, overwhelming
and feeling like I’m drowning in it all.

It is my companion and never judges me
or asks why.

Writing gets me through
the darkest days.

Snap out of it

The scene where Cher slaps Nicholas Cage

and says that is a classic moment.

But its a line that is told more then you realize

in different forms.

It’s only in your head, your imagining it, it’s not real,

quit then, your faking it, you only want attention and

my favorite you don’t need those.

They seem to be words of the moments, some

don’t know what to do or care for that matter.

It might work well in a script but life doesn’t

have dress rehearsals and many takes.

Make the effort to understand and be educated

before you say something you can’t take back.

Were all different in some way or another.

Living and Writing

Do I live or do I write or should I say,

live by normal people’s standard’s. Or

write with wild passionate abandonment.

Writing is a part of me, just like breathing is

a part of every living thing.

How do you combine writing and everyday life

to make a person complete.

Other writers know why, we need to get words,

ideas and stories running around in our heads down

on paper and computer screens.

Others don’t and we spend precious time and

energy trying to tell and convince

them what we are doing is important and has a purpose

which is to save our heart and soul.

Well for now I will do the normal routine of my day job

because I have to survive.

But then in the darkness of the night before I go to sleep

I will open a vein and let the writer in me speak.

This was written years back, I still work on combining

both lives, but writing has become a priority.

Many writer’s will understand my words,

that is why I have shared what I found in notebook.
