A Reflection On My Poetry Poem by Joshua Fegley

ive tried to have more pleasure when i write i guess its torture i really feel

Can't say that I've had more pain through my craft, but it is a lonely pursuit. I have used titles that fit for me, feeling that the title may be misconstrued. Contemplating the changing of the title often doesn't work. The poem is what it is. Like Contemplating Death. Some may shy away, thinking it's about me thinking of or glorifying committing suicide, lol. It IS a little painful to put that out there, knowing what some may think. I do like these lines, ...Constantly giving and taking In the end, I know I'll have to pay...

I love your poem. It is so totally true. I too have lost friends because of my love of writing, saying what I feel and see and others not understanding.

Joshua Fegley a brilliant craft again, pain is perhaps un recognized pleasure, because it is the source for human strive to explore. the hunder to know, the defiance to not accept what seems true at first sight is perpahs just a manifestation of a form of pain. pain is at the root of spring. those who have not been brushed by the blessing of pain have lived lives in shallower times.
