write a shitty poem

[Darwin's i-Pod]

write a shitty poem then read it and realize how shitty it is. then try to convince yourself that if what you were writing about was really that bad you'd have written a better poem.

keep the poems

That's a really funny idea

ha, thanks. it works best if you look back at really old ones when you're feeling ok and realize that nothing is ever as bad as it seems.

That is interesting. I have found stuff that I have written and wondered what the hell I was thinking.. It is really strange where the mind can go.

Writing really helps me. It allows me to look back on things that have hurt me in a more objective way in order to understand them better and accept them. A lot of it's shitty, also. Sometimes I scribble over what I've written in anger. I did write something out that I want to put behind me and forget, then I tried to burn it. It didn't go well, I burnt my finger and the was getting out of hand so really half is burned and the rest is ripped up in the trash. It was..freeing, though.
