5am
Getting over the flu and awake at 5AM. Smoking tonight made my mind race, as it often does, and into realizations.
Emotion is what you experience, strong emotion, when something more powerful than you can comprehend is channeled through you. Like the flow of electricity through 2 points, the medium that it is channeled through experiences a powerful current that came external to itself, a current that VIOLENTLY SHAKES it. You, I, the experiencer of emotion, are the medium.
Now,
That is why you, why I MUST create. While i exist in this world as a medium, I have to output as much of this channel as I can--widen the stream large enough--this is done through discipline (habit forming, practice of technique, etc)
Language does help, it is helping right now in writing this down, but in saying "create" I mean to attempt to make a mold of what you're feeling, making something entirely out of nothing. Is language even that: "creating something out of nothing"? I don't know that I have seen it or felt it that way before. But then again I never really got into poetry at all, SHIT
