a poem, I suppose.








the only thing going through my head when I write is:  read this and love me. love me. love me.
please, love me.
what purpose does my life have if people don’t love me? what purpose does life have if people don’t tell me they love me?
            I will not believe you, but tell me anyway. tell me. tell me until I believe it. tell me in a way that makes me believe it. tell me I matter. tell me I’m worthwhile.
            tell me my writing is meaningful. my words are my thoughts. my thoughts are my soul.* I am my soul* thoughts.
if my words are worthwhile, I am worthwhile.
love my words.
love me.

  1. I love you,

    There that was easy enough to do,

    Personally I don’t get the whole needed to be loved thing, for me that would just make life harder,

    I think being loved is different to needing love anyways I’m guessing George Carlin would say in answer to the poems question, what purpose does life have if people don’t tell me they love me..?

    PLASTIC

    I liked to imagine that this was in fact not a person’s feelings but a poems feelings, which would mean poems have souls,

    This made the whole thing quite interesting

    Here is a link to George Carlin which explains the whole purpose of life thing,

  2. *I just kind of decided I don't like this as much as I did. mainly because I don't believe in souls. I never have. I suppose that I thought it sounded nice when I was writing, but now it just makes the whole thing feel super-duper fake to me. I want to take it back. I think I will.
