I've been meaning to put this up for awhile.
"Wanting to be someone you're not is a waste of the person you are"
~Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
I find myself heartily agreeing and feebly protesting. But that does not matter, I feel the truth of it regardless.

I like it, but I can see how it might create this inner cacophony. I am starting to think that who somebody is, is not as clear and concrete as we make it seem. So I guess sometimes it can be good to want to be a certain way, because that might be just a hidden facet of a personality waiting to surface.
ReplyDeleteTeen Ink's not letting me post comments (argh).
Totally, there are so many different hands on the subject, "On one hand..." "But on the other..." "And still another, ect."
ReplyDeleteWhy ever not?! (Argh as well)
Oh dear! I fear they'll never let me touch that world with my words any longer. Slowly, they'll erase my existence from the land of Teen Ink, and then blot out my very memory. Go on, Amoniel (I moan, raising a hand melodramatically to my forehead), forget about me! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just sang Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" to my cat, and she seemed very pleased.
Yeah sure, as if I could :p :D Have they told you nothing about why they've blocked you?
ReplyDeleteHaha, cool, I remember that song. Describe her face as you sang to her.
I think the problem is actually with the computer instead of with Teen Ink, which is weird. I posted "testing, testing" on one of my poems, using an old, spare computer in our basement; it worked, but the computer soon gave out. Again, argh!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very contented look, and it was quiet in its radiance. I don't often make assumptions like this, but I think my cat is falling in love with me. :D Perhaps she finds my incredible charm and mature singing voice irresistible. Anyway, we waltzed around the sitting room soon afterward.
