Aah.. here are some poems that inspire me:
This one is similar to the one I wrote- Suicidal? I found this after I wrote that, so I thought I might as well post it on here.
Résume
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
-Dorothy Parker
Here's another one about suicide... trust me I'm not doing this on purpose, hehe. I just found these recently and I liked them sooo I'm putting them on here. Anyway you already know most of what I write or the authors that I post are either morose or dark (one and the same??).
Too Blue
I got these sad old weary blues.
I don't know where to go.
Nobody cares about you
When you sink so low.
What shall I do?
What shall I say?
Shall I take a gun and put myself away?
I wonder if one bullet would do?
Hard as my head is,
It would probably take two.
But I ain't got neither
Bullet nor gun-
And I'm too blue
To look for one.
-Langston Hughes
Here's something on a lighter note.
Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field frozen with snow.
-Langston Hughes
Well.. that wasn't really on a lighter note now that I think about it. At least it wasn't about death biggrin
Last one for the day, then I'm off to study.
Pieces Of Me
Who am I? I am a
wife, a mother, a daughter,
an artist, a teacher, a musician,
a friend, a student, and
things that have not revealed
themselves to me. I am more
than my body, my thoughts,
my experiences, my passions, and my fears.
I am a work in progress
I am a divine soul;
part of a greater tapestry
of other divine souls.
I am here to
evolve into my best self-
to come to trust in the universe,
learn from adverse experiences,
and revel in as much joy
as I possibly can in this lifetime
by being
true to my soul.
-Susan Tuttle
