- "A lot of the time i write with how i feel at that moment, like this poem i wrote because i feel that no one truly sees me, they can't see the doubts i have or the pain i feel.
And it's not just how it is with my friends, but my family too. no one in my family sees me ore cares...and its sort of left me seeing things in shades of grey where there is nothing to look forward to.
Other times stuff just comes to me and in my own head and it doesn't reflect on my emotions...I feel the poem itself should be the main priority. think too much about the title you loose the feel for the words that are meant to come out and be expressed...i generally name my poems by things that i have mentioned in it.
like this one i mentioned how i write because no one understands me so i mentioned pen in it. everyone has their own styles and own way of writing poetry, some like to do it visually by setting up a scenario and explaining it bit by bit, others use raw emotions and takes it from there. & thank you for the complement"

- "with great curiosity as a new poet, do you write exactly what you feel at that moment or inspiration just kicks in and the words follow? and which between the two comes first, the poem itself or the tittle? :D would be honour to have you opinion Greaaaat piece by the way"

- "thanks, writing comes from emotion, a lot of the time i just feel horrible and if i dont feel that than there is nothing and then there is no muse which is just as bad. "

- "I have this same fear but after being apart of this site for over a year and a half I rarely get this fear anymore. I write, I read and I experience life as much as I can, it helps to keep you fresh."

- "...read as much poetry as you can, get familiar w/it, stay open to nature & new experiences, & the poem will come. it will always come..."

- "Writing comes from emotions, unless you stop feeling, then the most you should suffer is writers block. I have been writing for over 30 years and that is one fear I have never had.....Our thoughts can become self fulfilling prophecy's.... Just let it flow...nicely penned and expressed..pen on.

- "Interesting view on life, Life can be a bugger as explained above in words of certain distinct truthfulness. This is certainly a "part" of life, depends on the person, to some "their" life can involve round such misfortune where's others lives can vary. Great write here. Ponderous and deep. Cheers-"

- "No it is fine, I personally am going through a bit of jealously right now in my life... I know how it feels to be envious and think you are deserving but it is hard to explain because nobody likes to sound selfish and self-absorbed. Cheers for the read anyway. I could relate at least. "

- "I haven't written in a very long time. It seems i can only write when I have a strong surge of emotion but the stuff that comes out of that is beautiful to me no matter how terrible it might be. It doesn't matter what other people feel about your work. It's your work and you're the only one that has to like it :) This is beautiful and very aw inspiring."

- "Jealousy is one of those emotions that only hurts us- perhaps the way to come out from it is to build yourself up...it seems like you've been through bad times, but there is usually a way to "heal" or, find someone who understands, is as interestingified as yourself.. Great write, thanks for sharing."

- "I understand your fears well. As they are mine as well, great rhymes carrying with them fearful emotion, it gets your point across very well."

- "i doubt he would be jealous of me symbol, but yeah i know jealousy and envy is bad, but it's a lot harder to overcome especially when the things you want is the things you feel you should have and i know its the very definition of the word...i guess i am just having a hard time explaining myself tonight lol"

- "Jealously is such an ugly thing, I know from pure experience. You must not let it eat you up though- envy itself is an ugly thing, don't make it turn you. Just remember... there are things in your life perhaps your brother envy's of you... you just never know. Not everybody is perfect, everyone has their flaws. Get out there and make something of yourself, to be proud of... and you will see that envy just... disappears eventually. Be strong and never give up :) Great write"

- "A pure outward representation of the thoughts and questions you have regarding the nature of things. It's superb. I can't say I like one part more than the next thought, because the entire work is incredible."
