Better Than Poetry?
You know for all the emo music that I listen to, I'd never actually been in situations quite as dramatic or gut-wrenching as bands like the notorious TBS sing about. Oh sure, I've had my relationship problems, mostly just bad ex's. But up until recently, a song written about them wouldn't sound so romantic. It'd be something like "You were a bitch, I left you." and you can't just repeat that line for an entire song. Unless...it's a rap song, hmm.
Now for the first time, I have a true emo experience, and I've become a regular "emo boy sitting in the corner crying in the dark writing poetry" as Heather so eloquently put it. I've been in that corner before, but now I've been there for several days.
Go down the emo checklist: Yes, it is about a girl, (check!), yes I feel like I was screwed over, (check!), yes I've been writing anguished lines about it, (check!) Now, logically I know that the situation isn't that bad, and that it will get better. Yet there is this clash between my logical side and my emotional side. My emotional side is screaming, "we've taken a major hit!" And as sure as I'm an emotional guy, I have to vent these feelings out, which is the beauty of poetry. Some people have commented on how freely I'm able to make my poetry viewable. Yes they are my feelings, but they are also both a little exagerrated and worded to be both creative, and get my basic story across. I'm an open person, so I don't have a problem revealing how I feel.
So for the hell of it, I decided just to write about my situation instead of write a poem about it tonight. I mean, it is a live"journal", might as well put some real journal entries in. The worst part of my relationship problem is this pervasive uncertainty. I'm perfectly willing to sit back and wait for a bit, but I'd like to know that there is a purpose for the wait. Yet I get a dial tone, figuratively speaking, silence on the other end. Now, I could make a clever line like "Love is calling, will you accept the charge?" But, yeah that would just be too cheesy.
But if a certain person is reading this, well I'm hoping she can see my situation. I'm in no rush, but don't make me sit and wait in silence. And if anyone else reads this, well thanks, glad people actually read my blogs. Thanks for listening to my spiel, leave some comments!
