| sage May 3, 2005 06:33 AM PDT you know i agree with some of what you said here but i dont think its right to judge a life you dont live. how do you know if that perfection is a front to conceal a shattered existence at home. i knew a girl who was popular and preppy and all that junk who lived in a nice house and was molested by three relatives. you never know what is under the surface. sometimes poetry doesnt have to be real though. i have a poem on my site about a guy kidnapping a famous girl. i never did that. never thought about it. just thought it would be a cool stephen king type of thing. i think to some extent poetry is for attention. we wouldnt all post on our sites or on the bpc page if we didnt want people to see it and when someone comments it makes our day. but i get where youre coming from though. in high school i had this buddy who saw me doing poetry reads at coffee shops and stuff and saw how some people [girls especially] thought it was cool. so he proceeded to write the twenty or so most godawful poems on the planet. we poets are not stupid and neither are the readers. if its fake or forced everyone will know it. they may not say it but they'll all know. all my love, sage p.s. loved what u said about some people's jacked type skills. it made me laugh. | ||
