My Muse's Darker Side

Part of my down side.

How I wish

I would write

Happy fluffy thoughts

Full of love and sweetness.

 

Instead of

Humanity's darker side

With the pain and hurt

That accompanies it.

 

Am I asking

Too much

From my Muse?

 

Or am I

Just a diseased soul

Who needs to be

Put down

Like the rest.

 

Before this illness

Spreads throughout

The world.

 

Tainting

The written word

Of others

With my presence.

 

Sigh.

Thank you, Sheema. Some days are better than others, for me.

i like this..and i always go back to what sylvia plath said..."let the Ladies Home Journal blither about happy stuff, people want to know from someone who has been there and felt the worst."

Personally, I rather not have experienced these things, myself, Jacob. Boring is nice and safe.
