‘Tie me up like I’m surprised, Let’s roleplay, I’ll wear a disguise, I want you to park that big Mack truck right in this little garage, Make it cream, make me scream’
Cardi B
Some context behind the above quote and the following poem goes something like this.
βRunning with my rain face on Today I woke up feeling sad, I know that you said That one day I would be glad, Hold the choirs of winter, The birds are calling to me, And all the leaves that I came to love are falling.. Oh you know that breaks my heart.β
– Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, Roll Armstrong, Zoe Johnston (FAITHLESS)
To all new arrivals I must ask you to take your place in the queue between me and you, as even sitting in the garden one can still get stung.
Hurt me when I’m close to you Tell me lies and not the truth Carve your wrongs in my skin
Christina Aguilera / Linda Perry / Mark Daniel Ronson
Writers, write for two reasons.
Because they cannot NOT write (a true writer can never push it aside for any reason)
They write what they know (personal experiences, life, observations, and when it comes to fiction, those experiences become embellished and then you have a story)
Actually, there’s way more reasons than that, but that’s just some insight into a writers mind.
Writers often write from pain. I think there is an element of pain behind most who create aRt whether it be the form of poetry, songwriting, composing, story-telling (fiction) screen plays, painting, the list goes on and on. Feel free to add more in the comment section below.
I wrote this poem this afternoon over coffee. It feels rich. It feels deep and it evokes something deep within me, and I hope it evokes something within you.
If it doesn’t resonate, that is all good, what I want to know is whether it evokes a reaction in you, good, bad, or otherwise. Let me know π ‡οΈ
