Pieces Of Me
I'm not sure what all this self expression and airing it publicly is going to get me but I figured it can't hurt anything. I am at a point in my life right now where I feel that I have gone un noticed and un heard far too long. I am not one that has to be in the spot light or say or do things to attract attention or approval from everyone, there have been times though where a selct few were zoned in on for review. I have spent a majority of my life writing and outside of a few family and close friends throughout my life, my stories and poems(mostly poems over the past 30 years) have gone unread. I have been inspired on occasion to chizzle out a poem for men that held my attention, captivated my heart or stirred up complex emotions but most of them, the poems i mean, were not read or shared with anyone.
I didn't want to go through years of schooling to learn how to write structurely. Today more so than ever to land some kind of creative writing gig or to even get a chance to show your stuff you have to have some kind of degree. It was pretty much like that back when I was growing up as well and that spelled out to me was they wanted to cookie press me into something I wasn't. I am still stubborn because I still feel that how I write and what I write is who and what I am. I also have stayed clear of reading accomplished poets and writers not because I didn't like reading but because I didn't want to compare what I write to thiers or try to write like them. I feel comfortable in the way I write now and I also feel that I have enough life experience in me to express myself and put it out there for anyone to read. During my younger years what i spun out was raw and angry and I was not confident and do I dare say not stable enough to back up what I wrote about. I am older and I feel I have gathered up enough wisdom and insight.
My grammer and spelling suck and what ever I write has no structure like all the literary heads out there like but what I write is not what I predict someone will like, not a ratings grabber, not following the rest of the sheep into the heard. I don't care about what some entertainer or sports figure or politician says or does and I refuse to facebook, twitter, instagram or any other social media my thoughts and opnion. I don't know, maybe that's what all this bloggin stuff is supposed to be about but that's not me
There will poems, some that were written years ago and some more recently. I will share my frustrations, my sartirical views on commons things we all think about and go through, my failures, my accomplishments, my fears and how I see and hear things. I know that I am not the only one that has gone through or going through what ever and I think maybe that's what is my motive, to share and connect with people
