Did you...?

Did you...?

A Poem by Laylani Mullane
"

Needed to get this out...one of my emotion pieces

"

Did you ever wonder why?

Or did you assume

Like you so often do…

Did you know I find solace

In the soft blue glow?

And minute clack of the buttons?

That in front of a screen

With my hands flying over the keys,

The little white doorways to another world

Where I can loose myself

Where I can strip away the pain and hurt.

Where I can be anything I want

Where control isn't something out of my reach.

That this is the only place where I can fight my addiction...

Where it isn't screaming at me so loudly.

It isn't louder then the clack-clack.

Did you know that it's one of the few places I have left

Where I don't feel unwanted?

 

Or did you simply assume again,

That I'm just lazing about in front of the screen?

That safer to assume for ya?

Just go with the safe route

Easier for everyone…almost…

a well written piec of poetic prose with a clear message.How easy it is to make assumtions most of which fall wide of the truth. Computers are a key to a wider world than we can access normally to finf friends with similar interests. We can create new persoans if we wish though I prefer to stick with the truth

Now this is a really good piece, which is simply put out for most to understand. It brought to mind one of my pieces that I wrote "Mask". These two poems goes hand in hand in a very real way.
The poem is very well writted and the image is clear. I can see myself in this piece so clearly in a way it is scary. But then again truth is in the eye of the beholder.
Good job on this, will be back to read some more

I like the reminder to stay above the fray through one's own expression/confession/transgression.

Jagged edge of truth, haunting. . .Perhaps we can chat about writing and the pulse of life some time.

For me poetry is about emotion, and most of the time when I write I try not to edit too much, if at all, because I believe that it'll only dimish the emotion. For the last few years writing has helpe.. more..
