I am: Heartbroken…

[lightbulb-warning]

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

Yeah... I remember seeing the architectural design majors at my uni having this breakdown each semester...

On an Island Alone

Hi, everyone. I have found myself in a place where I feel incredibly discouraged and lonely as a Poet. I try so hard to keep pushing forward but it's hard. I feel like as a poet there's less support... And so I feel alone.

This has been a build up over many years. And I blame the public school system for everything. Fuckers only make it look like there's a billion rules to follow. Which there's not! And you don't have to follow the "rules" anyway.

...at the end of the day I feel a little bitter that prose writers can more easily find betas and help while I'm over here staring at my work for the fiftieth time trying to figure out what's wrong with it.

I love my fellow writers and I'm so glad they do get that... But having to do all this work just to get jack shit is frustrating. I feel alone and sad like a lonely ship adrift at sea. Please give love to your poet friends. They're going through some shit. (It's finding the right word. *Glares at a running thesaurus* "Get back here you dumb fucking thesaurus I need you to give me the perfect word!")

Anyway TLDR: I wrote a poem about being sad and lonely. Enjoy.

Being a Poet is rewarding…

But it feels so lonely.

We’re one in a million

And being a poet means being an expert?

I don’t feel like one.

I’ve never felt like a professional.

Just someone who put words to an emotion

Feelings to a thought.

I just wanna talk about my stupid rhymes

And my loose metaphors

And the dumb wording I used to create images.

Or the rhyming of the same word. Lol.

I feel like a magician

Putting on a wonderful show

But no one wants to see the tricks behind the magic.

They don’t wanna see the words of my magic.

And it makes me feel so sad.

And it makes me feel so alone

Lost and left alone on an island of one.

Left alone to just make more.

I’m just a content creator alone

Because no one wants to look at poems critically.

Because they think they’ll look stupid

Because they think they’re too dumb to understand.

But you were never too little.

You have always been enough.

You’re not taking a test.

There’s no right answer.

There never was.

Because…

Poems are emotion

And images

And feelings.

I’m just here to paint you a picture.

I’m just here to make a scene in your head.

I’m just here to make your cry, laugh and smile.

There will never be a wrong way to poem.

So, please.

Don’t leave me alone.

On this island of hopelessness.

On this island of having to come up with ideas, and then write them and then edit them alone.

Please,

Don’t leave me alone.

Happy 10 Year Doctor Who Anniversary to me!! 🎉Genuinely crazy that I’ve loved this silly little space show for a whole decade 💙

[meadow-mellow]

Man. I'm too old for ship fighting/discourse. I ain't 16 anymore, dunno how these ppl manage to remain so stagnated mentally cause you'd expect they'd outgrow this kinda thing.

Okay. Okay okay okay so I am very very close to the end of Bunny I probably should be finishing it but this is so obscenely horrifying, hallucinogenic and absolutely fucking devastating that I can't physically bring myself to

[brutal-out-here]

It’s crying over River Song hours now

[berenshand]

me yesterday: the next 911 episode is going to be a miserable tearjerker to begin with but they always get you with some super sad music choice and that makes it even worse. mark my words, mom.

my mom: you're being dramatic

me hearing exactly 1 note of 'fix you' by coldplay and immediately breaking down: THIS IS EXACTLY THE SHIT I WAS TALKING ABOUT

[forcebookish]

OMG GIMMERREE MORES FORCEBOOK F I CS TJE LOL FEDDT ONE WAS SOO GOODD I CR I RD

>insert kylo ren screaming more gif<

kjfdslsa omg thank you anon ;; it's such a tiny little thing that i almost didn't write it, it's very moving how much y'all have loved it ;;

my HOPE is to write more but i don't have any real ideas percolating in my brain right now. i'm sure i'll end up with too many to write soon (that's what always happens lmao), but you might have to "settle" for guncher and akktheo for a li'l while haha

in the meantime, me @ you

[cao-tick]

Writing is more like a place stopped in time, a video that you took instead of fully living the moment so you could be there again and never forget any details.

It's a journey that stays with us even after it finishes because we learn something, we use a joke that we laughed about, a situation that we saw, a fandom that we discovered. You remember the taste of the book or fanfic by telling your friend and them remembering "you liked this, you talked about this, I saw your eyes sparkle".

It's music that we don't remember all of the lyrics but that part that we loved. It's the random smell of déjà vu that goes away too fast to catch.

It's art, the same as series, films, drawing or anything that feels pointless because it is just a creation for entertaining.

You write the recipe not the dinner. Not everyone is gonna read your recipe but a lot of people will, and they will like it and make dinner with that. They eat the emotions that your little silly story makes them feel. And they will say "The devastating difference between how much it takes to find the recipe vs how fast you eat it" because not everyone can write and no one can write like you.

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol
