Bottled Up Thoughts And Poetry
I don't know if I hang on to many things that long, but probably. The way I use poetry, I think it has that same effect very frequently in a much more immediate manner. Something starts puzzling me/stressing me out/etc and when I find the poetic language to resolve it, I am relieved of the burden. I like to think of this as unraveling paradox.

I'm sure that the case. A lot of my poems flow out of me, almost write themselves, the experience is as cathartic as laughing, crying or screaming. The only problem is that half the time, I don't know what my poems mean.

I think so...I think that's where the bulk of inspiration comes from...I think inspiration does that...it's organic, do it yourself, gritty, nasty, and sloppy, but also pure, I don't think it's ever just there. But yes, a lot of my work is centered around that whole thing, that everything is just bottled up, playing around with different emotions, experiences, until finally...BANG!!! It's there...a seizure of words.
