My brain thinks like this. It's probably confusing, which is how my mind is anyway, so...yeah. Comments, please?


Understandable nonsense
makes no more sense
than nonsense itself,
so why do we choose
to describe something as nothing,
and anything as better
than what we don't want to happen?

Are we defending undefendable choices,
or justifying unjustifyable acts?
To switch things up, we could say
we are wishing for impossibilities.
It all makes no difference,
which is just another way to say
I don't care,
not
it doesn't matter.
Because, as a matter of fact,
it does.

Silence the unsilenceable,
defeat the undefeatable,
and we will be unstoppable.

Do the impossible, and anything is possible.
But first, make sense out of me.

This poem was cute!
The first stanza made me muddled, it was a bit too much in my opinion. The rest was great, I liked the contrasts. I think the word is "unjustifiable", though. It made so little sense, but the last lines were unexpectedly clear. They made me smile :)
All in all, great nonsense poem, good grounding in the end.

The poem gives youre veiw of emotions, which is good but it comes to a piont that people are muddled and then get back on track. It will help that when you are expressing emotion do it in a flowing way like with your writing. Dont be a board cookie lol. But in a general way it is a cute and good poem

Don't shed your tears,for your words should not be left unsaid.

This is like something I would think except my version would be darker and quite possibly contain death and/or knives.
I really like it, it makes sense to me in a way that my thoughts make no sense to anyone else,,, but that's just confusing, isn't it?
It's a cute poem like others said but also really, well, poetic.
Also I love Evanescence.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes. I screamed aloud as it tore through them and now it's left me blind.

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
