Chinese throwing stars in my eyes

So I've been staying up at night, not sleeping but writing and I am so proud of this new poem, I love it so much I decided to share it. So you can like it or not I could care less, it's all subjective, but the point is it's me and I'm sharing it ( Read more... )

you don't know me, i don't know you...

that is a wondeful poem, though. i commend you on it.

i wonder if my comment means less or more because it's from someone who doesn't know you. i suppose it doesn't matter, all that matters is that the internet is amazing because it allows people to send their emotions out into the universe in a tangible way and allows random people to intercept their words and thoughts and feelings, creating a lightening quick connection between strangers, who are almost not strangers any longer because of the shared emotions, i feel like i know you even though i don't know your real name or where you live but because i have had the opportunity to read a selection of your most heartfelt emotions. i think we overuse the word heartfelt in our society. a hallmark card isn't heartfelt - it's barely alive. things that are heartfelt are felt in our hearts. so keep feeling things in your heart, and don't let your soul die like everyone else.

with love from a stranger who cares about everyone and wishes that people smiled at each other in the mall.

First off your comment definitely means more because I don't know you. Any comment is wonderful as is, comments from my friends are nice cause at least I know I still have them, but comments from strangers are even better-because you don't know me, all you know is what I write you only see that side of me that is raw Kat if you will. See normally I don't let people into the madness that is inside my head, so when I do put the madness into the form of a poem I think it's a risk I take sharing it. It makes me smile when I read comments like yours, it's nice to know that the risk was worth taking. It's also refreshing to see someone else taking a risk by commenting, I think the world is full of people who don't share themselves in anyway so I'm glad you took time out of your day to make mine better.
You know what- I'd like for you to not be a stranger, my email address is in the info section of my journal, if your brave enough to leave a comment as such then perhaps you'll be brave enough not to be a stranger and well I'd like to get to know a person who would leave such a wonderful comment. Either way thank you for your honesty.
