Don't Write

Poem By: Hugs and kisses
Poetry


Uhh...so this is a poem. Duh. And it's sort of a poetic version of either writer's block or teen angst...which is sort of odd. But oh well. I hope you guys enjoy it! View table of contents...

The colors are swirling all around,

Inside my mind, they are bound,

Colors that can’t be drawn out,

Colors that are what this is all about,

Beats drum inside my head,

They bring me to paths untread,

Beats that paper won’t show,

So in my mind I will stow,

***

 

For the first time I can’t write it,

For the first time I can only feel it,

I have to say that I don’t like it,

***

 

Tears that words can’t capture,

The un-recordable sounds of laughter,

All must be kept safe inside yourself,

On the top of your mind’s shelf,

It’s never worth it to forget,

From your first breakup to the red sunset,

***

 

Keep it safe, keep it secret, and don’t write,

For some things are only clear in your own sight,

Others don’t get what you're saying,

And for that the price you are paying,

So keep it safe, keep it secret, and don’t write,

For some things are only clear in your own sight,

Thank you so so much! I've never heard a heart go "bahh" before but I can only hope it's a good thing ^.^ I'm happy that yoyu enjoyed it so much!! Thank you for commenting!!!

lol steph makes me laugh. hahaha
ok but back to the poem!
i absolutely loved it! its an interesting idea - how some things are better left unwritten. i'm always wanting to write everything. i'll get a great idea and then when i put it on paper... it just loses its meaning. "some things are only clear in your own sight" - and i would have to agree completely ^^

excellent poem hugs and kisses ^^

Keep it safe, keep it secret, and don’t write,

For some things are only clear in your own sight,

YES, so true...when it's written, it's gone...emptiness, meaningless and soul less....
life is simple...but finding words to describe ones' emotions is difficult plus how many will appreciate...?? Laugh and everyone laughs...cry and no one hears...

so unique. I wrote a poem about writers block called just here. I wrote it a while back, so it's not that great but it would mean a lot if you checked it out.
