DOUBT

DOUBT

is like living inside

an empty of color room

with no windows

or doors.

^^^

It spins distortion

from the frigid air

painting your mind

with confusion’s fog.

Thick and wet,

it allows you only

a single

silent

scream.

Confusion is very hard we are all confused about something I enjoy the fact that I can relate to your work. Hope you have a nice day

[nafisa]

Wow this is very descriptive and vivid. I loved it. Thanks for sharing such good art.

I think this is a pretty accurate description of doubt. At least, from my perspective it is.

So are you saying your mind is wet and fuzzy KL?? lol.. teasing you, sorry but that was just too easy... er.. wait, are you saying my mind is wet and fuzzy??? :-p. But true.. thanks KL

[Lyn Anderson]

yes, that's exactly what it feels like.:)

It will likely not surprise you that you had me at the title, yet there is little I can offer by way of commentary for it's all in the poem my friend...this really gets to the heart of the matter...you didn't waste words, your imagery is succinct and wholeheartedly relateable...the doorless, windowless, colourless room, yes, I've spent a lot of time in there, and will spend my fair share of in there, uttering those silent screams, for that's who I am...I have my happy moments, but very few confident moments...they come with the unwavering support I receive from you and those precious few other friends I have here...and yet I still need constant propping up...my inferiority complex is relentless, but again, that's who I am...it's how my brain is programmed, and it's simply a case of controlling it to the best of my ability...yes, I felt this one my friend, but you must have known that I would...great song choice as well :)

Well, I'm glad you felt these words Steve, though I admit to also supporting your efforts not to feel this way... sounds like we need a reprogramer for your brain.. at least the inferior complex part and enhance the creative part. Hell then Steve would be reaching for those metaphoric stars... no doubt here..

[kublakhan27]

Haha Many attempts have been made at a reprogramming, none have worked...the scary thing to me is that if it ever were successful, I'm not sure what it would do to my creativity, for my most potent stuff comes out of the worst moments...but hey, I'm not the first artist to ever lament that possibility ;)

2 things Steve, have you tried the sledge hammer approach?? It either cures you or leaves you dead.. lol.. not usually recommended!! And 2, your creativity would be more about remembering being crazy and past experiences. But opening up whole new realms of creativity. Now if I can only find my sledgehammer, my friend Steve needs it since I am already brain dead from constant use...

Haha Let's just say some crazy things have happened to me in the past and I've taken more than a few substantial blows to the head, including one bad enough to require staples...I think all the normal seeped out of me when I had that incident ;)

[redzone]

No wonder, this explains everything.. why the earth spins and the universe sings and black holes are sucking us dry... lol:-p... only thing left to say: O U C H !!! that must have hurt, so glad you survived..
