I Just Wanna Feel Something Real

For all my avid readers, this one is for you..

This process brings us closer
To something
We can't quite grasp
Yet with each attempt
We foolishly pour our hearts
Onto a written page
Hoping to find it.
Its intimidating for many,
To be so honest, and Open.
No one likes to feel vulnerable.

But for us,
Its a challenge
We are beckoned
So we accept
Inspiration pours
Out of us fluidly
Desperate for a release
Because Its the only time
We feel ALIVE
We want to be touched
In places we've never felt
Made love endlessly
In our minds and our hearts.
Left without anything unchartered
Nothing should be unscathed.

So right before
I open a new book
I close my eyes
and say a little prayer
"Oh please God let me,
I just wanna feel something real."

i agree with Jacob, to an extent....we (I use this designation broadly, knowing that some will disagree) are a selfish lot and we DO write for ourselves...but why? to what end? so that we might connect with someone so that we might learn that someone else feels what we feel....so that we may feel needed, appreciated, valued, and understood...realness, but the realness we desire....which isn't always entirely real at all....

i really enjoyed this. thank you for your words.

Hi Daydreamer,
to articulate a thought and to have that thought recognized by another in kind, is the high only a true writer knows... vibrant words...colourful imagery and hopefully something that touches someone else's heart... in that, the feeling is true.
A wonderful prose in your poetry that lingers in thought... a true pleasure to read.

with or thoughts we create,
indelible memory,

a wonderfully written out concept of a poet's heart. which is usually their favorite writing tool. :)

excellent poem!

i always put myself or at least my experiences into my writing,
i draw upon real emotions i once felt and transcribe it onto paper.

i feel that if your writing isn't really you,
then theres no point in it

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think you are right...poets are more of a selfish lot...we write for ourselves...later we share and hope that our words can touch someone...

when i read poetry...'i just wanna feel something"--

and i do when i read yours.

Always a inspiration and challenge too. Both encourage us to write something unique, something new which relate by others. Great thinking of you dear. Any one could be relate to you.
