Uninspired.. and Uninhibited

    Today I feel... uninspired.. and uninhibited.
I don't know whats wrong with me.
Its as if I've lost my touch.
Like the magics gone.
Perhaps I'm losing, but that doesn't mean I'm lost.
Perhaps I'm failing, but it doesn't mean the battle can not still be fought.

Sometimes I think I think too much.
This causes me to feel... out of touch with reality.
For all that I see is unreal to me,
nothing is as it seems or should be.

This uninspiredness and uninhibitedness has caused a hole inside of me.
A void, so to speak.

So I search
high and low
for something/someone to
fill the void
that..is..me..

Why, .. Hello There!

I just realized that its literally been a month since I've been on here! Tsk.. tsk. Time does fly. What with summer school and work, I haven't had much time to myself. But I'm back now and ready to write, write, write. I have new plans for poems and posts. Very soon to come. So stay tuned. And if you're not following me on twitter you should be! @ThatsSOBri

Self Knows Not What It feels

    ...I went out one night and I lost my mind...
 But everything was fine.
    Becase while awake, I am dreaming,
seeing but not believeing that its real.
  It seems as if I'm in too deep,
  like I've fallen into some type of sink hole.
Depressed, disappointed, and delusional.
self.. knows.. not.. what.. it.. feels..

I try to hide what I feel
because if I said what was really on my mind
I might turn a few heads
or wind up all alone again.
I'll admit it, I'm the neurotic one.
like a misplaced atom bomb,
trying to grasp and stay in touch with reality
but its a futile attempt you see
Becase-> self..knows..not..what..it..feels

I tortured soul,
doomed to walk this earth alone,
for ever and eternity.

self..knows..not..what..it..feels

Life Is What You Make It

    They say "life is what you make it". I agree. Indeed, life is whatever you make it out to be. That can be good or bad. For the longest time I lived by other's standards of how I should live my life. But then it hit me.
It's my life. I'm the only one who can live it! So from now on, thats what I will do. I''ll live life for me.
Only I can determine what that means. I know that for the longest time, I was simply living and not existing.
Thats about to change. I want to be among the living. I want to enjoy my youth and my life because only God knows how long I have on this Earth. I challenge everyone to live their best life. Because you only live once so make it count!

Poetry Topics/ Themes

Ok so I think now I have an idea of what I want to write about.

Some different topics I'm interested in are: culture, nature, life, happiness, racism,

So I'll just pick one of these topics, start brainstorming, and write whatever comes to mind!

Nature Poetry... etc..

Just thinking about new types of poems I can write. Most of my poems are about my life/experiences. It would be interesting to write about different subjects and things I see around me and not necessarily all about me. Maybe nature poetry would be a good place to start?

hmm..

Haven't posted anything new in a while. I feel like going to Barnes and Noble and reading some poetry. Reading works by my favorite authors/poets usually inspires me. Today is a good day to read.
