Poetry (I think)

Non Human Entity

Hi,

I know some people are very averse to poetry but when I am really feeling the grip of frustration just writing out whatever comes to my head really helps. It is usually short sentences, words associating with other words. It's like my brain is so frantic it cannot form complex sentences so spits out phrases and imagery. Any way I wanted to share what I wrote tonight after a bad episode and wonder if anyone else does the same thing?

Creativity without expression.

Understanding without awareness.

Loneliness without comfort.

Words without sound.

 

Rivers without banks.

Hope without love.

Trees without roots.

Passion without foundation.

 

House without home.

Space without freedom.

Tears without meaning.

Shadows without people

  • Thank you for your kind and insightful replies. I have been writing to ease the suffering for a while now but I always feel silly after and delete what I have written. I expected sharing it to be like telling someone about your dreams... immediate disinterest. Although I write to release my own frustration it is comforting to know it is relatable. I am also attempting to write a short story and maybe I will share that too at a later date.

    do not delete them i deleted stuff when i was very low and i wish i had them now as a reminder of how I was --- place them somewhere and keep them in chronology order (by date ) .  then after 5 years go back and read the first year and see if u are the same or different . sometimes organisations ask for art from autistic people and you could donate it.

    Please don't delete them! Keep a file on your computer for the poems you wrote. You might find you want to revisit/share them someday.

    You could start a blog for your creative writing if that's something that interests you. Feel free to post on this forum in the meantime - I love reading poetry and short stories Slight smile
