Poem Commentary

i have been doing alot of back and forth with myself... the other voice inside continues to push me towards the light... i wrote the parts in italics last week and when i read over this today the other voice screamed no!!! which is why those parts are in bold... this is a continuation of an earlier poem that i wrote called what i write... to get the best perspective on this please read part one...

what i write (part 2)

what i write is what i am
what i see and where i stand
twisted dark and full of tears
an open heart drenched with fear


     what you write is what you are?!?
      a self absorbed open scar
      dark and twisted and full of tears?!?
      more like weak with thoughts unclear


what i write is what i do
not a style that others choose
haunting screams and evil eyes
shadow things that try to hide


     what you do is fucking dwell
      in a place you know too well
      the screams you hear and eyes you see
      are your own that you keep

what i write is WHO i am
trying to cope the best i can
purging out and letting go
my own self doubt of words that flow


     what you write is NOT who you are
      youre failing at the coping part
      try to purge with all your might
      but youre holding on too tight


what i write is what i think
the thoughts that dance inside of me
from razor blades... to peircing thorns
the toll it takes to ride the storm


     the thoughts you think are getting old
      you hold those thoughts way too close
      the thorns still pierce and the razors slice
      because you wont leave them behind


what i write is what i write
nightmares dreams and the things i fight
pain that stings and thoughts that hurt
immortalized through structured verse


     what you write is what you write?!? 
      yourself is what you really fight
      the pain you feel and thought that hurt
      youre rubbing salt with all these words


what i write is what i feel
emotions that seem to overwhelm
instead of love and peace and light
i write of dark and pain and fright


    what you feel is what you write
     but what you feel is trapped inside
     instead of turning towards the light
     in the dark you try to hide

 

what i write i would rather not
but sometimes its all ive got
if i could erase all the pain
i know i wouldnt write the same


    if you would rather not... then just dont
     youll take its strength if you let it go
     take the pain and spit it out
     theres no real comfort in self doubt

i like your humble personality, regardless of the brilliant talent. You ask yourself ''what did i write''-is really good to express that honestly...maybe that makes you an amazing poet. If you ask me why i especially like this poem ....`cause that is my opinion and individual view of things. Just keep your style.

Damn Dano!! You have done it again.. Yes. This is a song to a poetic heart- actually to all who writes, all! Descriptions of the 'feelings' that stream from our minds; your mind, is written with the passion of 'two lovers' in conversation- yet, your genius has the 'thought voice' evaluating the voice of reason- both needing to be present for the conception and birth of a new baby poem- I'll tell ya what Dano- I count my blessings every time I read a piece you have written- amazing.-Maddi

this is an example of the inner struggle that happens often inside of my head and in my heart... the back and forth... i feel like i am insane sometimes listening to two voices that sound the same

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
