Well, I'm feeling a bit discouraged by the lack of feedback on the last poems I've posted, so I probably won't continue this little project. I'm not in a good enough head space to post my silly poems and not get any response, as dumb as that might be. Which I probably should have already known and anticipated before I even started, which would have reminded me that this wasn't a good idea for me right now to do this. But yeah, I guess I didn't.
But anyway here's one more, at least. Semi recent. Written from bed on a bad day.
Time
ticking by
and here I am
still here
still here
Days
going by
and here I am
still here
still here
I haven't moved
barely breathed
still here
still this
It never leaves
Here I am
breathe in
breathe out
breathe in
It's all I do
My life
passing by
I watch it go
and here I am
still here
still here
still here

Are you familiar with Deviantart? It is a good place to post poetry where people might actually care and respond. Or it was, once. I posted mine on there years ago, but it may be too huge to get any recognition anymore. Poetry is, sadly, an underappreciated craft nowadays unless it's accompanied by a good-looking rock star who sings his/her poetry. ;)
This is really good. The "still this" line stands out in between all the "still heres." It sounds like breathing.
