    drift away

     i don't know what i'm writing and i don't know why i'm writing it....i have a feeling that i need to share but do i really wanna share it....i have been sad now for minutes longer than most and i wanna write but something is stopping me....i do not know what it could be becuz i have poetry in my heart, my soul made my poetic self....now my poetic self is in conflict, battling something with-in....i hope that fellow poets don't fall victim to things that i have been enduring and not willing to return to....mine friends are now mine enemies and mine enemies are now non-existent so which can you tell me is the worst....i need answers and i need your prayer....my heart hurts as if its been broken but fact is that it's still in pieces from many times before....never healed but just pieced back together held on but the glue has weakened....don't let my soul wander, don't let my heart beat for no reason, don't let me just - - - - drift away........

    This makes me what to keep you close and be your friend. I feel you, I know what I feel is similar. I feel sometimes I could just drift away and never be reached again. Its like a restless tired. You have company. Dont ever feel alone.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
