thanks so much, thumper!


each one of my poems was a result of such suicidal thinking that i kinda feel like they're toxic to read.. like put potholders on or something, you know, don't get any of it on 'ya! haha..
but i believe in turning it over into creativity rather than destruction.. so that redeems it..

i certainly don't want it to make si/suicide seem alluring.. so even i don't really know what to make of it..
but i really appreciate the compliment..

yah,
i tried to keep the same beat as elliott's alt king's xing..
i love that one..


it's an homage to him in a way, too..

i guess any aca (adult child of alcoholic) can relate?

yeah, that makes me think of his own metaphor:
'i'm a roman candle, my head is full of flames..'

Wow ghost, Ive just read your poems and they are very good,
They are beautifully written and powerful, there are a lot of lines in there that made me quite emotional, you are certainly talented.
I think that they would inspire other people to channel all that painful energy into something creative, I attempt to when i feel like SI but just end up with a jumbled mass of bitter words!.

thanks so much, raining..
i think i trained myself to turn the hectic si thoughts into art first..
i started out trying to use painting.. so i have this whole gallery now.. haha! (the link's in my profile)

but then i went back to writing, and just started jotting down the
'bitter words' as you mentioned onto a notepad.. when i couldn't sleep more words would 'click' until i started working them together..

as a person dealing with si, i think the poems are like scars, they last longer actually, and i feel validated even if they are such negative ideas.. so i feel better having done them..

thanks again,
ghost
