Illusion of me

The need to express myself

I ache to splash my blood on the page,
to pour myself out, wonder, love and rage.
I am neatly put together, attempting perfect you see.
Few know the complex paradoxes of me.

Awesome thoughts from a human.
The paradox in all of us is always a great topic.
Your few words here say a lot.

Just brilliant! I was attacked with the outrageous honesty, simplicity and deepness of this piece! I am jealous the muse came to you not ME to give a birth to this masterpiece!

I love the passion and violent emotion in such a restrained, almost masquerade like quality of this piece. It emotes such a universal feeling in such a lovely way.

"Few know the complex paradoxes of me"- hmm.. intriguing. a seemingly darkly conspiracy within self and scheming ego, and all for a yearning too much to hold. Smashing writing ;)

This is absolutely amazing. Some of the best work I have read tonight! Keep up the great work!

A simply passionate statement of truth!

The frustration behind that yearning is expressed well here. It is the drive behind the pen. Thankyou.

Few...capitalize my friend! I'm giving you a hard time, you know my grammar sucks...so when I can find someone else to critique, it makes me feel better about myself. Hey...isn't that what bullies do? All writers and artist ache to put themselves on paper. They aren't satisfied with the average emotion...they feel the need to bleed...to satisfy...to feeeeeeeeed a never ending urge. We all fight to be understood, despite the complexities of being human...and you penned this emotion and frustration beautifully. It's natural to not feel satisfied!
