Description
i'm drinking cough syrupin june like it's almost
christmas
i'm speaking in only the scars
lining the inside of my mouth
i'm writing with only the scars
that i have already written
my hands are shaking and it seems
that the levies have broken
my hands no longer sewn together
my pen again filled with red ink
am i still seeking glory
is there a life here for me
i can feel a breath in my chest forming
-
i'm drinking hot chocolate
in december while it's near
freezing
i am no longer writing
on previously written letters
i am no longer writing
in red ink
i am still seeking glory
and it seems a life remains for me

This hit very close to home, for me, in a profound way I couldn't even hope to explain, as much as I wish to. I will try and form the sentence to say that this was provoking in its content and its relation, and that I really enjoyed the similarities between the two sections, just as much as I loved the small tenses and shifts where they differed; they are two separate mountains, and one can almost feel as if they've been taken along for the climb through your words. I think that's a powerful, powerful thing.
This gave me hope, too, in a way I wasn't expecting, so I must sincerely thank you for sharing.
Congratulations, too, on your DD! It's well deserved!

i've always had a love/hate relationship with anyone saying they could relate to anything i wrote, or that it hit home or anything along those lines. because on one hand, i love being able to connect with people, and knowing that other people feel the same way i do and can understand where i'm coming from with some things. but on the other hand, i don't want anyone to have felt the same way y'know? i wouldn't wish some of those feelings on anyone. it's late and i'm rambling.
my overly long-winded point is thank you. i really appreciate it. i love seeing how people react to what i do, and i love more than anything whenever someone tells me i gave them at least a little bit of hope. so thank YOU.

I understand completely. However, connection seems the goal of art, and I think that kind of understanding impact is why people appreciate art as they do. At least, that's my reasoning.
It is indeed a bit late, and I'm unsure if I'm making complete sense, either. Maybe we can just make nonsensical night rambles acceptable? Is my bias in this vote showing?
Rambling is my mother tongue, overly-winded my accent, so I hope you don't feel too out spoken (or something) replying as such. But, I'm always happy to help where I can! I enjoy pointing out what I particularly enjoyed about a piece of art, and impactful relation is always something I will feel reverence and gratitude towards: it reminds me of my own humanity, in a sense, even if it is sometimes painted in darker shades. So no need to thank me: it's my pleasure!
I should probably go to sleep. But best wishes!

This is really, really good, and I can see why you got the DD! I don't know what this poem is making me feel, but it's making me feel something, definitely. Congrats on the great work
