not singling anyone out: just seems i'm supposed to stuff my feelings until there is no sensation left ...

feel useless.


why is it others are allowed
to have a bad day and write
about it?  i do, and am told i'm
not supposed to feel that way.

why is it others get a cramp in
their muse and have hardening
of the words?  i get it too, and am
told to stop compaing about it.

why is it others write a poem and
get a lot of reviews, and i bust
my ass to write the poem of my
life and feel it's not worth reading?

why am i so hard on myself?

why do i beat myself up?

who am i trying to impress?

why am i so jealous?

why
                    why


                                        why????????

Aww ((KARLA)))..you have expressed what every good writer feels. I say "good" writer A.) because you ARE one, and B.) because expressing feelings - the good, the bad, and the ugly ones - is what writing is all about!

God bless!

Karla,
Those little blue numbers in the upper left-hand corner of this page tell us all you must be doing something right.
Sounds like somebody needs a hug.......

Writing helps to share ones inner feelings . It expesses our fears doubts , loves, feelings,hopes and frustrations. You have a unique way of opening your soul and sharing your thoughts with others. We all have our good and bad times. Keep writing !!!! GOD BLESS.......M

Hitting a wall with your head doesn't give the wall a headache just another lump on your head, and that will be just as an inspiration to write a poem as anything.
So stop ranting and write me one girl!

Karla there is only One perfect
and that would be God. We as human will often
get mad, frustrated, sad and weary. A true friend
would not criticize you when you are down but
lend a helping hand to pick you up.

Thanks for sharing
this write. God bless you.

Love, Hugs and Smiles

I wish I could answer that Karla but, since I often ask myself the same questions and have not come up with an answer, I cannot give you one. Love and best wishes to you,

Your Own Worst Enemy Is Always Yourself...

EI Don't Care If Anybody Reviews What I Write--I Write Because I Write What I Know I Am Talking About TRUTH...

Rating A D System Sucks... Just Because Some 2 Faced A D Writes Cute Comment About Your Poem,i.e. Does That Really Please You Or Are You Still Counting A D's That Say Nothing That Criticize Even Less...

To Criticize 1 Work Is To Inspire To Encourage You To Write Even Better,i.e. Simply Why I Stop Reviewing Poems- They All Run To Den Master Complain Cry Like Baby's...

For me writing is a pleasure. So I must always write. Even those who feel it is an uphill task should still write and we must not be hard with them.

Can anyone ever say just the right thing to someone when they're feeling bad? Similar to J. Bolton's comment, the answer lies within.

I have felt this way, too; don't worry about it. I wish I could get more on my stories than what I do on my poetry; as I have told you before, I don't consider myserlf a poet; I am a storyteller first and foremost! I wish for you more reviews on your poetry; those reviews certainly help elevate your mood and make you feel like the poet you are. Write for YOU; write because you CAN, write because you DO. Don't EVER give up! And know this: you are one of the most respected poets here at the Den! OKAY?? I love you, dear sister of mine! :)

God bless you and may He continue to inspire your craft! That's what helps me! :)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin (and #1 fan), Karen Lynn. :D

Often we feel inferior especially when it comes to our art...that is a natural feeling though and only a nariciss would not feel it from time to time. Your work is good Karla but as we all know critics are often fickle and we must write what we like and if they like it..it's a bonus if they don't F em.

I've always said we write because we MUST... I'd love to have hundreds read and review my poems but I write them because my soul MUST bleed onto the paper occassionally. Sometimes we scream, sometimes we whisper, sometimes we sing... But ALWAYS we MUST share our poetic souls with the wind in hopes it blows past receptive ears.

Now you have another review. You inspired another to respond. But remember... You have the heart of a poet and it MUST continue to pump the product of your inspiration through your veins. Keep up the good work.

Because you lost sight of the child of God you truly are, perfect in His sight and suffering your way to His heavenly perfection. It helps if we can remember this life is only temporary, we are destined for eternity in a perfect place with our Savior!My prayers are with you, and I know you'll get through this, to your next higher phase of excellent poetry!Write /soar on Karla!

The Ranting Zone is a place many of us often find ourselves. And it's often not a very pleasant place, but sometimes, a very needed one. So Rant On, if you must!
