to tell the truth.... if you want to hear it.... I think you are an attention seeking pity whore..... though being that can and does have its place as there are those out there who need people like that to make themselves feel better.....
Though I do not see you as being all bad.... some of your poems are very well written..... the ones that do not deal with the overly emotional aspects of pity and depression......
I expect others to stand up and chime in as soon as they see my posts......
I do respect you for your not taking offense though to my opinion... it is refreshing to see someone who can take criticism as just that......
So in ending..... or maybe beginning???
I hate self-pity...... I think that those who utilize it are often just doing it to either seek attention or friends..... when in the end all they had to do was be themselves and forsake the depressing attitude....... |
What's funny is I feel no self pity comming from Jobe. I am brutally honost too especially when it comes to airing my disgust for someone or something...but unfortunantly I am usually wrong and just acting on immediate emotions triggered by anger management issues. I have a pretty abusive mouth but I'm trying. I however am not as controled as the Masters sooooooo...
Jobe didn't seek me out...I found him. I needed him, incase you want to know how others feel. Of course you are entitled to your opinion blind opinion...we all are.
It's nice to know that you are not overly emotional or ever get depressed or feel alone. It is nice to know that you are an expert on poetry (wich by the way is supposed to be filled with PASSION and such...at least in the past when "the Greats" went about it.
Maybe it's not self pity Dy...maybe it's expressing. Maybe it's to remind people that they are not the only ones who feel that way inside. You should be happy that you are so strong and happy and delightful and smiles come easy.
If everyone were like you...the art world (movies, poetry, paintings etc...) would be boring as hell eh? There would be no dark forum that's for sure...it would be daisy land in Dy's ass or some shit like that. (Sorry my brain farted...breath in breath out).
I wish I could take critisism the way Jobe does. It's so obvious that your opinion won't stop him from being beautiful but it still makes me see Red. Perhaps one day I will be strong enough to just let the world bounce off of my chest too.
