Resolve the Interference

More of a personal statement than anything else.

Resolve the Interference

Activate the kinetic mechanism within the machine

And configure its processors to its dying dreams

Disassemble the mainframe and dissect its components

So that you can restore it to optimal performance

For this system is constantly crashing

It's time to analyze and resolve the interference

Author's Note

I was originally thinking that this piece would be longer, but after the last line here, I decided it would be best to leave it as it is. This is more of a personal statement than anything else, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. As usual, tell me what you think! :)

Honestly, I thought this poem was about this site!
It’s up it’s down!
I love this site, don’t get me wrong.
It gives us all the opportunity to express ourselves freely and to enjoy one another’s art form. I’m probably wrong about your poems true definition.
I just wanted to tell you the first thing that popped into my head while reading it.
I like it ! :) thank you:)

Lol, I so get what you mean there! I have no idea why the site's been going up and down more than a Rollercoaster lately, but I hope it stops doing it soon! As far as the meaning goes, this poem's basically a metaphor for trying to overcome inner disappointment with one's self. Thank you so much for reading!

Ahhh. Computer terminology as a metaphor for inner self dissatisfaction. A very interesting idea; that one must always disassemble their inner mind and workings to reassemble themselves in a better operational mode.

A very clever piece. I Dont know why everyone keeps talking about windows when the theme is obvious to me.

[DoormanDan]

I don't know why either lol. It probably had to do with the fact that I wrote this shortly after Windows 10 came out (I think?). Just taking a stab there, but who knows? Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece, Doodley. It always makes me feel more inspired when others appreciate my efforts. :)

Has to be Windows mine crashes all the time I'm always fighting off viruses

[DoormanDan]

Yep, this certainly does sound like a good description of Windows lol. I wish I could make a suggestion you for antivirus, but unfortunately I'm not a whiz with technology. Thanks for reading. :)

i thank you I use avast but what works best is a free program called malwarebytes

This sounds like this darn computer today. Kathie

[DoormanDan]

Yep, that be what I was going for here. Technology for the win...dow smashing when it enrages me by not working properly for the billionth time lol. :)

I wish I knew more about computers now... lol. But basically I believe this was you telling yourself to get your butt into gear. Figure out what's stopping you, and then become unstoppable. We all need a good confidence boost from ourselves every now and then. I agree this is better as a short piece, it gets right to the point and says what it needs to say. :)

[DoormanDan]

That is exactly what it is. For the past 2 months, apart from exercising and the occasional social outing, I've been just sitting in my room, on Youtube, because I didn't have any more ideas. It's basically gotten to the point where I decided "If inspiration isn't going to come to me, I'll go to inspiration!" So far, it isn't working as much as I initially thought it would, but hey, I went from 2 months of no writing to 2 new pieces and a more than satisfactory rewrite of one of my all time favorite pieces all in the course of 4-5 days. I think once college starts and I actually begin to have a healthy social life again, inspiration should start coming back to me like it once did. :)

[Amber Lily]

I hope so! Finding inspiration is honestly the hardest part about writing. But even one or two poems feel like a lot after going through a dry spell! I'm not very social either, so I need to force myself to be sometimes as well. I feel your pain, the pain of a introvert.

I do enjoy it, the constructive and sheer starkness of the wording and pace here lend to the technical coldness of the meaning, well done, good read.

[DoormanDan]

Well, I wouldn't exactly describe the meaning as being cold (it's actually meant to be positive), but I can see why you see it that way. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Unlike with many other pieces I've written here, I actually tried to keep the flow on spot with this one. Thanks for reading! :)
