After a hiatus, I think I might start writing poetry again. My muse is still in hiding. I think I can only write when I'm truly depressed, but I don't know. Perhaps it only sounds good when it's depressing....I don't know.






My new favorite song is Pepper by Butthole Surfers.....
"I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes"

¤I've just realized that some of the best poems are the ones entered in contests, because the contest is demanding good work....uh, DUH Crystal!!!!!¤

I'm 22 years old and I live in Minnesota. I like piercings, I have my labret pierced. I also have 4 holes in my left ear and 2 in my right. I have a full time job, and I recently started going to tech school in the evenings.
I love to read and write, and I love music. One day I'd love to write a novel, but so far I can't write more than 20 pages in anything, and I don't know why. I mostly write poetry, and I've been told that it's very good. You are your own worst critic, so I usually think my writing isn't very good. I've tried writing happy poetry, but to me it doesn't sound right, and I guess you shouldn't force it....so I write depressing, dark, sad stuff, because that's what flows. I have to stop and think when I write happy things, but when I just write what I feel, it's usually pretty dark stuff.
I also love music. If I didn't have music, I don't think I'd be able to live. I listen to a little bit of everything: alternative (my fav right now), rock, classic rock, rap, hip hop, r&b, techno, pop, country, soft rock, reggae, and whatever group Enya and Sarah Brightman fit into.

"she came calling one early morning/she showed her crown of thorns/she whispered softly to tell a story/about how she had been wronged/as she lay lifeless/he stole her innocence/and this is how she carried on/this is how she carried on/well i guess she closed her eyes/and just imagined everything's all right/but she could not hide her tears/cuz they were sent to wash away those years/they were sent to wash away those years" - Wash Away Those Years - Creed

"i can't get clean again/i wanna know can we get clean again?/the god of wine comes crashing/through the headlights of a car/that took you farther than you thought you'd ever wanna go/we can't get back again/we can't get back again/she takes a drink/and then she waits/the alcohol it permeates/and soon the sounds give way/and cancels out the day/i can't keep it all together/i know i know i know i know i know i know i know/i can't keep it all together" - God Of Wine, Third Eye Blind
