art of being sad

prose-poetry(prosetry) pretending to be a journal

Dear reader,

 

Have I mastered the art of being sad, making my everyday living slumbering in dreamland fantasy?  Then my reality is in wintry weathery moments that I feel numb from too much cold. Is isolation my best buddy for the mean time? Well those questions will remain in this journal, to immortalize the moment of my depressing situation.

 

I brought up the transparent duct tape in placed always for people to see the lively image I pretend. Sometimes I’m tired of the choices and expectations I created. Though I never regret all of them, I just find them depressing for often times I wonder did I really make an awful choice.  Still at the back of my mind I fantasize a positive outcome of all those.

 

Wisdom grows as you aged, Maturity becomes you and Changes have eaten you. Now I wonder did I totally embrace reality or my life in tune with negativity. Despite all this, I will surely survive and live up to the choices I created. Someday I will surpass this in time.

 

            Thank you for reading…

'Sometimes I’m tired of the choices and expectations I created'

i loved the line about wisdom, maturity and change, it had much understanding of life. this is filled with that melancholy that poets love and we all fall into now and then. i'm sure you will pull through! fantastic.

Your title immediately drew me close to the atmosphere of this piece, and I was not underwhelmed by any stretch of imagination - this is great. :) "to immortalise the moment of my depressing situation", I love this line (the spelling of immortalise you might wanna change Hun), there's a nonchalant feel surrounding your sadness that I suppose comes with a darker depression.. Hold on in there. Only you can truly save you, and if you want to be happy bad enough well in time you will be just that, if you stay strong, and accept yourself. Beautiful piece, just be careful with the structure of your sentences so as their meaning is not distorted! :)

dear friend,

I truly appreciate your reflective review and warnings. Actually the spelling is correct its z not s, i think it’s the font style that makes it look like s. “nonchalant” I love that word, it’s my first time hearing it and finding its meaning, because you know English it not my first nor my second, so I really happy to have found a new word in your review. And after writing this, my situation felt a little lighter to carry(writing really is my therapy), like in my past journals. Somehow I already accept the responsibilities of my choice that this must be the consequences I must face another challenge life throws at me. The situations sucks at times but not totally depressing when you learn to accept and that’s what I learned after realizing everything. I’m still lucky I guess, I landed on the very supportive people around me here in WC and in the outside world… Everyone gives me strength to move on. Thank you truly.

This is great. I love how you bring up issues not visited often. At the very middle of you there is a wonderful hope. It's as if we get to travel along that hope and learn as you learn. Cheer!!

[Serenity Faith]

Oh Will! It has been a while since I've read one of your works and I am quite impressed! You have improved greatly, at least with the English language. Your poetry and writes have always been full of insight and truth that not to many will speak. We try to live up to expectations, even if they seem overwhelming, and we often put on masks for outsiders, in hopes our own sadness or worries will leak through. Life causes us to grow, to change, and to learn.

I always live in your thoughts, as I live them, when you're hurt I'm too, and they eventually are so optimistic, no matter what, venting is nice... I loved this dearest friend. Be always how you're, don't change a single thing! :) (only things that could make you more happy, and happier than ever)...

dearest friend,

I thank you greatly for warm support. I tried to be optimistic as possible as I can for it is my choice, my challenge, my consequence and my responsibility to face. In my write I can expressed fully what I felt, for in the outside world I’m a bit lively with a duct tape(reference from our dear friend) metaphor a mask of ourselves. Venting is nice, yes indeed but I don’t share by just anyone, I guess I have trust issues on the outside world, only here in my write I can expressed it in artistic manner as possible. Always thanking you for reading a piece of myself in this write. I truly appreciate that dearest friend.

Oh dear one, I just see this post now, I don't get often anymore notifications, I don't know why, some glitches again maybe... I'm here always for you dear, you know that. And when I feel a little better, when those painkillers work, I will mail you soon, and we can have long long conversations, :) Looking forward to that, Venting is how it should come personally. We are all human, and we should act how it feels most comfortable. I give you neighbor hugs, and till soon! :))

I concur my friend, and know your sadness. Many friends and loves I have lost personally. There is always a smile where one feels the most damaged in transition, a mask that everyone speaks of but few really know. There will be periods of time where it is overwhelming, this feeling doesn't fade completely. It lessens but stays under your skin. But we also have words, and for me it is the best way to say what I couldn't otherwise. Find your Exodus.

My friend,

Thank you, so much. I truly agree with you, I guess they never do fade/erase just leaving a scar on the skin. I was never really a poet(as of now I still have no confidence to call myself a poet or even a writer, I have a very low self-esteem). To write seems to be my escape, a therapy from the awful juries in my head, somewhat a release and i think it’s the best way to vent your frustrations. I truly appreciate your wisdom my friend, always!

You're welcome, Pax. Though you may not consider yourself a poet/writer I do, I see so much from you, its a view into a world completely different. Reading your words is like a therapy to me, knowing there is another person with their back against the wall.

Changes..they can age you like a fine wine...or eat away at you like a cancer. Provocative thoughts my dear. Well penned.

[icelandicblue]

I love the title. Your final stanza has the most impact as it should in a well written poem. Although the only constant is change does not mean that it is welcome.

[Sami Khalil]

We will be there dear neighbor in your sad lonely days along with your happy fulfilled days . An excellent write of reflection and self pondering...:)

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

thank you for sharing. Even though we may feel sad inside it is good to be optimistic and share with others.
