Anger and Creativity

Another Old Piece of Writing. I was 18 when I wrote this one

Too many thoughts, I see
Frustration inspired writer’s block,
Eyes red and pulse racing
A word is heard, my mind locks,
Pencil tapping and imagination free
I am evil, I feed on hate,
My original nature is calling me
To fight it now is much too late,

My name is fear, eyes are dark
Anger flows through me like a flood,
My hand begins to write it away
As I glide through seas of bad blood,
I push out innocence and embrace loathing
My nightmares copy my breathing,
Verse after verse is brilliantly written
My creativity thrives, my soul is bleeding,

For a moment my nature is free
Briefly my darkness causes fear,
the trembling hand finishes the verse
Reminding me of goals I am near,
As anger becomes restrained again
The finished piece deserves fame,
For to be the best, I release the real me
Thus, anger and creativity are exactly the same

    I can see now why we have developed a sudden friendship- this relates to my poetry and the way I write AND the way I think in so many ways! Amazing that you wrote this 5 year's ago at 18 years of age and it still dipicts such a deep, thoughtful and talented image in its words just as much as your current poetry. You are such a good poet! By the way, you are only a year older than me :) love this poem and I am eager in anticipation to read another!!!!

    That is a truly amazing piece! I love it. Sometimes it is anger that inspires us, but most do not like to admit it. I love this. It screams strength. :)
