Perished Muse• Show poetry

I am a 21 years old and i live in the South West of Western Australia. I have been writing for As long as i can remember...
I usually write rather personal and deep poetry, because i use poetry as an outlet. However i also write Songs, Short Stories and indulge in Autobiographical writings occasionally...
Currently i am Working on "Some kind of Memoirs"... Writing bits and pieces, here and there... and hopefully one day they will all fall into place...
Also i have in the running a few Novels that may or may not ever get finished...
I have so many different snippets of different writings around the place that i could probably wallpaper the entire United Kingdom... Although 99 Percent of them are unfinished, only a few lines of thought, or products of writers block.

I am a Really Big Shakespeare Fan and My Favourite Poet is Robert Browning... Although is saying this i do appreciate and love so many other Authors...

I am a Qualified Computer Technician and I am Currently Studying Computer Science and Graphic and Digital Media at University, and Following on with Education... and Later in Life Psychology...
Some people ask me, Why these three Professions? Why not Writing?
and i always answer the same...
Computer Technoloy is something that i am really very good at, in many different ways, and can always fall back on if ever i need the money... Teaching is something that i can do almost anywhere around the globe... and Psychology is something that i have always wanted to do... And Writing is Something that i have and will Always love doing and i never want to learn to hate it because i am relying on it for money... And i believe that Writing is always better when its not written for financial gain...  
Thats not to say that i dont want to ever get anything published, whats the point of writing for all these years and not sharing it with the world... Im just saying that if i ever do get anything published... sales wont be my main priority...

    I really think you got the wrong idea about my thoughts and asperations, i dont think i said anywhere that i might never get published... i stated that i might not publish my work... as a choice but i Might as another choice Publish it Also...
    And about my unfinished Novels... some of then arnt worth finishing... and some of then ARE going to get finished when i have the time... So this has nothing to do with whether or not i have set myself up for failure... because i believe that anything is possibe if only ones mind is put to it... but you have to make the choice first... i dont think i was put on this earth to endure everything that i have endured and learn everything i have learnt, and do everything i have done, at such a young age... to come out of it no more wise that i was when i was pushed to it...
    I have learnt a lot, i have Delt with a lot... i have been through a lot, i have seen things that i dream noone on this earth would ever have to ever see or hear about.... i have been lost, i have been so far down that i thought nothing was possible... i have been to the depths of misery and depression... and i have climbed, crawled, and struggled, but finally made it to the top...
    Yes i still have a fair way to go... but i believe that i am dealing very very very well, considering the torture that i endure every single day due to my mind running its own course...
    anyway... BLA...

    now that i have stopped retaliating, i have re-read what i have written... this would be the time where i would delete it and leave it... however i have decided that it is good to share thoughts with people...
    SO, i apologise if it soulds harsh... but i feel that i havent struggled and gone through all i have to make myself a better person... for someone to turn around and tell me that i am setting myself up for failure... i think those were the words that i was retaliating to... all my life i was told that i was a failure... stupid... wont amount to anything... and i believed that...
    but now i know that i am actually more intellegent that many in this world... and that it was everyone elses problems and issues that caused then to be so unkind... (and i am not big headed but i do believe that i am quite intellegent *on some things* - and to have that belief after forever being told otherwise is a great psychological development -)

    BLA... - sorry another run with retaliation... maybe i should stop now before you hate me forever...
    this isnt a Dig at you... its really just allowing myself to justify that i am not a failure... and you probably didnt mean for it to affect me so much, and in this way... and for this i apologise...
    and i really should have read you comment AFTER i took my medication, it might have taken me less words to explain, and it probably would have me in tears right now *that reminds me - its 9:30AM and i havent taken my meds *BRB*

    BACK

    anyways.... i appreciate your opinion.... and thankyou... i do see where you were comming from.... but i hope somewhere in this psychotic ramble you find justification, that i am not setting myself up for failure...

    and now you might be thinking, why is she so set on making other people believe she is not a failure, when all you really need is to have that belief within yourself... WELL... i havent overcome that issue yet... It makes me second check myself when i hear things like that from people... because i dont fully trust myself yet... i dont know how to explain it...
    anyway i should stop before i dig a hole too deep to climb out of....

    PS: thankyou for your Comments.... hugs...

    i just wanted you to know that your autobiography was wonderful. i think that even if you have the desire to one day have published work, it will never happen because you have already set yourself up to believe it will never happen. you sound like you have lots of intelligence, in computers even, and computers are a hard thing to figure out. if you tell yourself it might never happen, or just because your works are unfinished, you have already accepted that it will never get to happen. accomplishment starts within the mind, and moves down to the act of convincing yourself that you can do this too. i think that all of us on here think we aren't good enough to do something with our poems, and others know they are, they just choose to just leave them here on all poetry. in my hopes, i hope that one day if this site doesnt exhist anymore, that whomever created it will take all of the poems and publish a book, and will not let all of these great creations go unnoticed, and will give credit where credit is due. anyways, you are too smart to let things just go unfinished. dont give up. you are too young, and your accomplishments and goals will build as you get older, and wiser.
