My Life in Living color

This is just some weird s**t I wrote when I was alone.

Sometimes, I have these weird thoughts. Sometimes I have these weird feelings. It’s like I wake up, I look around, and I pretend to be awake, when in actuality, I’m just dreaming. I walk around, mindlessly through empty halls full of people. I grab full cups of empty liquids and I drink until I’m hungry. I look at my arms and I look at my feet and I feel like they look just alike; worn. I’m socially awkward. I’ve never fit in and I’ve always been that weird, stay-to-myself type. Even when I’m surrounded by close friends, I feel like I can’t function properly. I say to myself, “Damn, why am I even in here?” And I glance around at plain, white walls and wait for them to tell me the answers. I already know the answers. I have a thousand of them, all tucked away in this empty box I call my mind. And I glance at the windows with rain dribbling down them, watching them kiss until they mesh together, and then become nothing again. I can see the colors in the water, even though it’s clear and I can listen to the music, even though I cannot hear it. I see the dirt on my clean fingernails and I wonder why they’re dirty, when they’re perfectly clean. I look at everything upside down when it’s inside out and I don’t give a s**t who loves it because I hate it. I pick up clovers and spit them out and I whisper quietly while I shout. While my fingers are chopped off, I pick up every penny I never even dropped. And I’ll always keep going, even when my life has stopped.

This is a good concept. I wish it wasn't so blocky and you'd taken the time to space this out into separate lines, but that's your prerogative. You have a good concept and while your imagery is somewhat utilitarian, you get your point across. Well done.

This was inspired by Kurt Cobain's last letter to the world before he died. It's a personal letter to him from me. It's not specifically meant to be anything at all, but there was no category for an inspired letter, so I just selected "poem".
