m455's poetry
here is some poetry to externalize big feelings i've experience in my life.
sometimes the words come to me from nothing (things i don't notice), and
sometimes they come to me when i have feelings that inexplainably match up with
the feelings that are evoked in me from music and/or scenery.
with my poetry, i originally aimed to get out stuck feelings that diary-style
journalling wouldn't do for me. specifically, the overwhelming physical
sensations that i get from big emotions.
but, lately, i've realized that that's not the only thing i'm doing--i
discovered that i'm also trying to recreate how i felt while i was writing each
poem by providing what i saw or heard while i was writing on instagram. the only
problem, is that and visuals don't exist here--only the written part of the
poem. i wan't to change this some day, when my brain will let me.
i list the newest poems at the top of the lists below, but here's a little table
of contents for jumping between the years if this shit continues to grow lol:
