Transference
I might be about to give it all up
The fight has been long and the road has been rough
I'm not the unique poet I thought myself to be
It seems the world will be just fine with forgetting me
I know I am often one to stand against a struggle
But how can this clown put on a show when I can't even juggle
I'm getting sick and tired of sharing these creative words
When day after day they go unheard
This use to me my painkiller, the bottom of my bottle
But it's starting to feel like a bus full of children going off a cliff full throttle
I don't know why I ever felt I needed the worlds approval
But I can clearly see all my attempts have been futile
I can't give up my creative energy
Because that is a ghost that likes to haunt me
But I don't need to let everyone inside my mind
It turns out in reality most can't spare the time
So the answer in reality is painting its self clear
That when people decide they are ready for me, I won't be here!

thank you, this poem was not inspired by Cosmofunnel or any of you! Especially not you! It's just an outlet for my issues that spawned from me being banned from posting to groups on Facebook and that my family and friends never click on my posts usually only other poets do, but I can't teach them because I can't share my work
so please don't feel you've done anything to inspire this I was just venting but I thought it ended up good and was a product of real emotion ... so I posted it

yeah man I know, just bleeding my heart out through my pen. I'm disconnected from my peers in the place that I get the most feedback and now only my actual friends and family see it, they support what I do but they don't pay anymore attention than that... but you and Cherie are always there for me! I have no hard feelings you guys don't catch all my poems YOU always seem to pop up when I need the words you say lol
but I will post things that reflect my feelings it's the nature of the art I'm never trying to distance myself from anyone or act like I catch everyone else's work either... for me I want to read other people's work, that's why I follow them but my creative energy is so much bigger than I am, so between working and working on my other projects being a father and letting this creature in my head out I forget to do it
I'm sorry
thanks again
