shallow

I don’t know me
at all
wished I did
I have every facility
to produce
and
yet
I don’t
I have so much at my fingertips
and I hold back
how is this why is this
when I want so badly
more
if I could but know me
if I could but open the recesses
the pools
fling wide the door
usher in the pent up
the hidden the frightened the glorious
parts
there would be something of worth
yes?
or perhaps
this is what I get
this shallowness I fear
this push me pull me that leads to
utter
frustration
grow?
how is one to grow as a person as a writer
if one allows the demons to fly
will they not vex forever after
if one is to acknowledge that indeed yes
there is grief
will not that grief then rule the day
what say you of that
what how without unleashing the very
fires of hell
can one
scrawl out the heart laments
huh?
shallow is as shallow does
keep the demons at bay I say
and one more thing
who gives a flying f*** anyway

You and Lady A have this way with bad words...I just LOOOOVE IT! I loved your emotion in this as I do all that you write. I often feel the same...and understand fully.

Thanking you,

What is there, is there, get past the inner censors and outer ones just "Be" and have the guts to write it down. You are far from shallow, Josie.

At the point where we "Don't give a "flying fuck" we do our best work because we can say anything from that point on. And shallow, hardly! Great rant, and great write!

Josefina Maria,

hahaha, You made Karen have to repent... Well you are asking the right question... Now all you have to do is be satisified with the answers or change the answers. You are one of the deepest shallow people that I know.
