I write poetry
Some say I’m a poet
I don’t
More like
I spew
emotions
on paper
and hope
they sound pretty
I don’t pay much
attention
to formalities
I just want
the pain inside me
set free
Picture me,
like the exorcist, but
Instead of covering
the walls
with pea soup
I’m projectile vomiting
fragments
of my mind
The ugliness
displayed haphazardly
across the walls
And I call it
art
Inviting others to
bear witness
and gawk
at the spectacle, that is
my life
All
in the name of,
Purging my soul

Welcome back, lady
evidence would suggest if you write poetry then you ate a poet. since the above is poetry and you've authored it, it follows you are a poet
I hope you're not too disappointed:),
good stuff, lady

Those shoes still feel as though they don’t fit. I keep trying them on. They look good, but seems my toes have to much room to wiggle.
Thank you! I appreciate you reading and encouraging me.

Dear Julia, the Greek origin of poet is to make, create, build up. You make honest and poignant portraits with your poetry. I am glad that you do write and that you, like myself, use poetry as a catharsis. Write on goddess💕

"projectile vomiting fragments of my mind"
This brings really "interesting" imagery to mind. ;) Nice writing.

Your writing style is ''Unique'' and powerful revealing your true talent as a writer. Your poetry spills from your heart with fierce expressive emotions affirming your verse as Raw and Pure. I admire your rare explicit no filter approach to poetry. You are fearless with your writing exposing the most vulnerable parts of your soul through your poems....''You Write Brilliant Poetry''!

This one is threaded with so much truth ... love the flow ... it inhales ... then exhales ... natural ... not rushed ... saying what it has to say ... resonates deeply with me ...

Right! Some times I stop myself and I can't call it a poem. It feels like I am a fraud and I am false advertising my stuff as poetry. Ugh... but I 'm getting better to not feel that way so much.

Keep projectile vomiting away. Spilling raw emotions is what poetry is all about and you do it well.
