It brings me great joy to know that this terrible tragedy has been lent recognition by your words.. perhaps, in time, we may rise above issues of race..

Melancholy.. passionate, and engaging. A heartfelt poem on the edge of the precipice of emptiness.

That's totally fucked up. I hate racism. But this poem is deep.

Seems I'm not alone in feeling personally attached to this poem! Encapsulates the emotions and thoughts so accurately it's hard not to relate

Sometimes I\'m Happy

I like this piece, sometimes I feel this way myself. I could tell your heart was in your hands, while you wrote it .

Sometimes I\'m Happy
Severus Alexander said:

Although we tend to think of emotions as an external response, they're actually more of an ongoing, internal process... all emotions come from inside. We never really stop feeling angry, or sad, or even happy... it's just that most of the time we don't notice them, because they cancel each other out. However, when there's an external imbalance of some kind, it can often destabilize things on the inside. This inequality is usually the direct result of some form of turmoil, and although it can be either personal or professional, (i.e. work stress vs. relationship stress) it can almost always be tied back to some form of personal anxiety. (The different types of which are far too numerous to list here.)

Hope is funny; it's one of those things in life that's really, really good in medium-sized quantities, but can be harmful in large quantities. (Let's be realistic, folks.)

However, it's probably not a very good idea to run too low on it, either.

I know that I'm being a little technical.. (I mean, come on, our feelings aren't exactly rocket science) and I know that it's probably not going to make my long, rambling response any more sensible... (lol!) but I'm going to finish with the opposite extreme.

"The thing that we really have to remember... is that we're never alone."



And as long as we can still see the sun, no matter whether it's rising or setting, and disregarding all the yucky clouds and water vapor... I'd say that we've all got a pretty good shot at being happy.

Severus Alexander said:

Touching!

Freedom has its perks, but it also carries a great deal of responsibility...

But, you know, its freedom, and that goes a long way. : )

I found this to be a very great poem, I hate it when people claim they understand . I feel as tho the most upsetting thing some one can say is that they understand, I always say to people I can relate to a degree, but I never say I understand. Everyone has their own perception of life, no matter the case no one will share the exact experience as some one else. I hope all goes well for you in the days ahead, and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

HI PF - The nice positive comment from Forlorn Dreams should lift you up ! We all feel SAD from time to time (even me) but we can always lift ourselves up again ! I do it through prayer and reading the Psalms etc and talking and sharing with positive people ! You are unique and you need to live to fulfil the purpose God created you for. Cutting - alcohol - cough syrup is NOT the answer ! The answer is POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING and counting all your Blessings. I'm praying for you and posting positive poems for you - keep looking up and keep reading my poems and the LIGHT will come ! I love the USA - what US State are you living in ? Your positive Friend - BRIAN :o) Smiling just for you ! :o)

Hey! Nice poem.I don't see anything big that stick ls out as wrong, but if you wanted to make it more interesting think of an experience you had at a hospital, but no one really saw or felt. Something you went through, and so did others and they could relate, but that no one really knowsnor understands. Overall, I did enjoy your poem (:

LaRose said:

Good advice Brian to PerpetualFlowers. I have many more years behind me than i do in front and when i look at the balance, my greatest time (read as happy) was when i set my own value, held to my dream and let others just see the whisp of passing. Ode to be young again, even if it was without what i know now. PerpetualFlowers, you will make it.

HI PF - Welcome to My Poetic Side - Great site - awesome poems - great people. Love you poem - full of teenage angst. But it does not have to be like that ! Be a free spirit - make your own choices -m choose a career you like. Don't be dictated to by others. For me Satisfaction in a job is more important than Salary ! For many people in jobs they hate (to earn a crust) it is as you say STRESS - SADNESS - UNFAIRNESS - but it has never been like that for me. I chose to study Science and become a Tutor - not much money but lots and lots of satisfaction ! Best wishes - BRIAN
