Poetry: Truth in its Sunday clothes?
By: [my real name!]
Brought to you locally by punk rock and techno
So many great works have been done over the course of human history. Many of these works are under the literary style of poetry. What is poetry though? Common definitions are what poems consist of: rhyme, rhythm, meter, and basic concepts that you see in works ranging from Robert Frost to Iggy Pop. There’s another, more technical part to it though. Human truths, emotions, expressed through words.
This brings us to the word “truth.” Obviously a truth is the absence of lies, a recollection of what really happened or is. Truth is a constant that runs parallel to falsehoods it seems. Poetry is this constant captured and pinned down in ink. The truth in poetry isn’t the same as telling your parents that you broke the vase and not your little brother, it’s a different kind that defines who and what we are. It’s the writer’s inner thoughts formed in ways that can be interpreted in a million ways by one person and a million ways by another.
The way poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes is that it’s the cleaned up, pretty-to-look-at form. Truths by themselves can be pretty ugly but when put into the form of a poem they can seemly change drastically in contrast. A poem about the brutal, bloody experiences of a man at war can seem look like a field of flowers if made into poetry. A great example of this is the work of popular poet Edger Allen Poe, he wrote some of the darkest tales that seemed (slightly) lighter due to the poetic style of his writings. Poetry is truth all dressed up an ready to blow some minds. |

Listening to: Beck - Where It's At
And then it was over. Jacklyn dumped me.
Oh well, shit happens. I don't want anyone to apologize for her doing this either. It isn't your fault, it's her's.
She can't come to terms with certain things and is confused about a lot right now. |

Feeling: infuriated
Well, I haven't posted anything in a while so I might as well say that I feel great. I've been in a natural high ever since me and Jack(lyn) started dating. I love this girl. Just sucks that we don't go to the same school and rarly see each other but when we do it's wonderful. |

Haven't felt like this in a while. So let down that the rope's cut loose. Choking on the bitter taste of stale memories. I don't want to revisit.
Wait. Hold it. Freeze frame. Rewind.
The "let's be friends" is the same as the last three times.
Maybe I'm just plauged with unluck.
She gave up without even a run. |

Listening to: The Hungry I - Happy Too
I'm going to whine for a spell:
Well, the girl I'm currently hooked on doesn't like me but seems to like someone else. Yeah, I know, story of my life. I guess that my feelings and desires are simply unimportent. I can just never win. I guess that's what I get for being a "nice guy."
I just don't get it. Women say that they'd like a nice guy but then they throw themselves away to the biggest jackasses they can find.
A moment of my track record:
Kelly - didn't work out. I stupidly ended it.
Crystal - Cheated on me because I "wasn't fast enough"
Michelle - Dumped me because I was "too nice"
Brittany - Never got off the ground because I wasn't a jock.
Cera - Don't get me started on our fucked up relationship. She's happy with Andrew anyways. They desurve each other.
I just can't get what I want. I want to beat the hell out of the Rolling Stones right now too because that song "You can't always get what you want" is stuck in my head.
That may be true for some people but not for me. I can't recall a single time I ever got what I wanted.
And I think the one thing that confuses and frustrates me the most is the fact that she says she's looking for someone a lot like herself. And from what I've seen, we ARE a lot alike. We like the same things and hate the same things.
I wish I was asexual sometimes. This shit really pisses me off and depresses me at the same time.

Buh. A little down. I've finnaly come to terms with what's wrong with me.
I have created a Heaven for myself that I want to share with someone else so much that it's become my own personal Hell.
I should stop lieing to myself with the notion that i need someone else. I don't need anyone. I can still stand on my own. I can balance my own chaos.
I'd say the best thing about this revelation is learning that angst won't last. Best thing I can do is abolish this confusion now.
