~
i rip words off of tattered pages
then
spill them on unblemished paper
and
what is left
are
bits
and
parts
of
me
~
what i write is not always pretty ~
it cannot be
because
i am not
but
what i do write is real ~
~ it is real ~
~ it is who i am ~
~ it is me ~

Thank you. I am just not liking the real. I apologize for the late response. I have not been writing. Or reading for that matter. I am having one of those identity crisis – “why am I writing, who cares, why do I care, I hate my writing, it sucks, why can’t I write like other writers …….” All the usual stuff. xx

You are a great writer!! Besides the real question is “do you write for you or do you write for others?” When you answer that, the rest is easy. I haven’t been on much either. I’ve been crazy busy, and I write for me and me has been even so I don’t have much to say 🙂 I write when I’m at extremes, LOL

I do write for myself. But I get those damn insecure thoughts – they can really reap havoc on a person can’t they? ;). Maybe it isn’t the writing a maybe it is just me? :). Danggit.

Don’t be so hard on yourself!! Danggit!! If you are writing for you, then screw the masses, only you have to dig it 🙂 Go on with your bad self girl!

You are real, you are someone, you give life to your words. Without your heart and soul they are lifeless letters.

Thank you. I am sorry for the late reply, but I have been disconnected from WP for the past few days, other than a very minimal photo which, though it is the photo challenge, pretty much sums up how I have been feeling. As I have said to a few others, I am not feeling confident or capable as a writer.

Through words beauty is spread around he world, never forget the true worth of the creations you bring forth, beautiful 🙂

words4jp | November 8, 2014 at 2:35 pm
I am afraid I am having trouble with that. I have been off WP for the past few days – taking a timeout or just disappearing. Not sure which. I love to write, but I am feeling like my writing pretty much sucks. To put it bluntly. xx

InfiniteZip | November 8, 2014 at 5:30 pm
I don’t think your poetry sucks at all or I wouldn’t be following and commenting 🙂 be yourself and breathe….you have a gift my friend, whether you think so or not and by putting yourself,out there for,review to the world take a lot of you know what’s 🙂 it is admirable and brave. Be strong, take a break if you must but you will miss being creative and I will be waiting for you and Pee and the gang 🙂 peace love and blessings 🙂

“what I do write is real. it is real. it is who i am. it is me.” This is why I love your writing Kimberly, regardless of what you may think of it. You are sharing parts of you with… me.

words4jp | November 8, 2014 at 2:46 pm
Thank you. I am not certain if I am going to continue writing but I do appreciate all the support you have shown me. It means more than I can express in words. xx

Dan McGaffin | November 8, 2014 at 3:36 pm
I’m always happy to be here for you. As far as writing goes, I get so much joy out of it. Even if I stopped sharing it, I think I would still find myself writing.

Just because it may not be “pretty” doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful. You are truly beautiful. *hugs from a friend*

Thank you. I am feeling overwhelmed by an identity crisis of sorts. And my writing seems to be fueling much of it. Silly, I know but I am struggling heavily.

Thank you. I wish I felt the same confidence.

MichelleMarie | November 8, 2014 at 7:57 pm
OH I know it…don’t stop. I lack confidence as well but keep going and that is how you build it I think! 😀 xxx

That might be my new favorite one of yours. Really love it. xo

Thank you. I am feeling like it is the last. Not feeling good with the writing thing right now. Self confidence is a b*tch. xx

I appreciate authenticity. You’ve got to be real to yourself and to others. I don’t know if it makes any difference at all, but I really like your writing. That’s what keeps bringing me back here.
🙂

words4jp | November 11, 2014 at 1:06 pm
Thank you. I cannot begin to tell you how much your words have meant to me since I read them yesterday – I am behind in commenting, sorry. I have a tendency to compare myself and though I know I should not, I still do and it plays with my brain. Arghhh. Thank you again. xx
37.
stacilys | November 11, 2014 at 5:42 pm
You’re more than welcome. And I think this thing about comparing ourselves is only human. I’ve done it too. I hear you when you say it plays with your brain, which then affects the emotions. Feelings can often hinder us from seeing objectively and notice the potential we have.
